Tip: finer control increments for Mac brightness and volume - Psurfer - 03-04-2019
New to me:
Shift + Option while raising or lowering brightness or volume. Gives 1/4 step increments vs standard mac keyboard whole steps.
Finally! gives me that in-betweeny screen brightness level (above the last always too-dark one) that I've wanted all this time on the iMac, especially for nighttime use when the room is dimly lit.
I could even use a few more brightness dimming steps down at the low end (instead of me squinting during those late hours when I should Not be reading on the iMac...), but this extra level of control is pretty good and a most welcomed improvement.

I KNEW there was a key combo for incremental volume. I just couldn't remember what it was. Thanks!

I've been looking for a similar fine control on the iPhone and haven't found it yet. I use the OS X version all the time.
