Feature request: Auto set backlight level based on activity
can you use ioreg to detect idle and then set an option to auto-dim the keyboard when it's idle for 5s or more and re-enable once the activity manages? thanks
if not, could you possibly post the applescript to set the level to low/med/high and i will contribute the code for 'auto'. the codebase is too large for me to understand it.
ideally we'd use apple's io system but i'm not afraid of writing a shell script, i just need some pointers on where to start.
the defaults output for org.zhen.YogaSMC doesn't change if I change the option via the system tray applet.
The backlight could be controlled by ioio -s YogaVPC BacklightLevel level. Due to the constraint in Idea models, the backlight level will only stay at low when set by the driver. ThinkPad variant should be fine.
Also, I suppose it would be easier to implement it in the driver level. Currently YogaSMC ignores a message from VoodooPS2 which is used for VoodooI2C palm rejection on each keypress.
Thanks, this should work nicely for my machine with a stock backlit keyboard

Awesome, it looks like it works (you can disregard my comments on the PR).
Is there an option to hide the "Backlight on/Backlight off" OSD?
Thanks again! ^_^
