Add key bindings / shortcuts / hotkey to increase brightness

[tliebig]

Quite a bit of Sony Vaio laptops cannot change their brightness via keyboard on WIN10 since to some customization. Drivers from Sony are only provided up to Win 8.1.

Having the option to manually assign Brightness_UP and Brightness_DOWN keyboard shortcuts would help mitigate the issue, since the slider itself works perfectly on my Vaio VGN-SR51MF.

Any chance that you could add this option?

Better yet have it work with the brightness control buttons. I'm trying to get X-Mouse to control the brightness on my PC.

EDIT: Found a solution that can do shortcuts {CTRL}< and {CTRL}> :Desktop Lighter for Windows Version: 1.4

Shortcut possible , but accessing fn key is not possible by c#

Desktop lighter app changes gamma not backlight.

Shortcut would be very useful and if it's possible to let us choose the shortcut it would be amazing.

Also it doesn't play very well with the "change brightness automatically when lighting changes" on Windows 10 (it still works but there is a range, in my case 0-50, in which nothing happens but between 50 and 100 the brightness does change).

"Disable widows adaptive brightness " İs another issue. You have to disable it by yourselfff.

so any luck with adding hotkeys? My desktop keyboard doesnt have brightness keys so copying desktop lighters keys would work well im guessing?
