Description

Changes screen backlight and keyboard LED brightness from scripts, shortcuts, or the command line. It is useful for laptops and custom desktop setups that need simple brightness control outside a full power-management interface.

Brightness control may require device permissions or udev rules. Test small changes first so scripts do not make the screen unreadable or leave keyboard lighting in an unwanted state.
