[REQUEST] toggle keyboard backlight

Open milahu opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

at night i often need my keyboard backlight

would be nice if koi would enable/disable it automatically

in my KDE system tray, there is a "brightness and colors" applet where i can manually enable/disable my keyboard backlight

Have you considered using this (or a manual implementation thereof)?

my laptop has no Ambient Light Sensor

ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/
grep -i light /proc/bus/input/devices
udevadm info --export-db | grep -i light
lsusb | grep -i light
lspci -nn | grep -i light

udevadm info shows only my display and keyboard backlight
