A basic tool to increase and decrease intel backlight percent.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
You'll need `make` and some C compiler installed.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Copy the `backlight-control` file to `/usr/local/bin/` or somewhere similar.
|
|
Then run `backlight-control` to get the current brightness as a percentage, or
|
|
`backlight-control +1` to increase brightness by 1 percent, or
|
|
`backlight-control -1` to decrease brightness by 1 percent. Or higher numbers
|
|
for higher percentages at a time.
|
|
|
|
### With i3 / Sway
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec backlight-control +1
|
|
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec backlight-control -1

|
```
