I couldn't adjust my computer's brightness after I installed Ubuntu 16.04 with its default controller. Then, I downloaded brightness-controller
package which is a great tool. It worked. Now I want to add shortcuts to this package's controllers for darkening and whitening. Which commands should I integrate with shortcuts?

Hi Göktuğ Aşçı, posted. – Jacob Vlijm Apr 01 '17 at 19:58

Wait, you wanted the shortcuts to directly raise or lower brightness? The application does not provide any cli options. Even has no man page(!) . Deleted my answer. – Jacob Vlijm Apr 01 '17 at 20:08

Sorry to hear that. Are there any alternatives for this package which also provide options? – Göktuğ Aşçı Apr 01 '17 at 20:22

I will look into the code, see if I can fix something. Or write someting:) – Jacob Vlijm Apr 01 '17 at 20:33

Hi Göktuğ Aşçı, I noticed I already wrote a script to be used with shortcuts, see the dupe link above. Both brightness-control and the linked dupe use simple xrandr brightness commands, functionality is exactly similar. – Jacob Vlijm Apr 01 '17 at 20:59
