UNFINISHED: Change screen brightness w/ hotkey
(1/1)
kli6891:
Hi,
is it possible to change a laptop's LCD brightness using F2 and F3?
I tried using autohotkey (see http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic42443.html), but the code given is complex.
Can someone give some clarification?
Thanks.
P.S. Checked out DimScreen, but that doesn't actually change screen brightness, so battery life doesn't change.
Target:
what sort of laptop is it (mine has that functionality built in)
kli6891:
It does that have built in, but the software that it requires brings on too much baggage :(
scancode:
What OS are you running?
nite_monkey:
have you tried using the built in function without installing the software? On my laptop(dell) I don't have the software installed when I was using windows, and the function still worked, and it also works in ubuntu which is what I use now. My mom's laptop (toshiba) also works in windows without any special software.
