I don't think this is a good argument. Sway (which I'm a maintainer of)<br>
can add a command to change the backlight, and then users can bind their<br>
keybinding to that command. This is not very different from e.g. a<br>
keybind to switch on/off a monitor.<br>
<br>
We can also standardize a protocol to change the backlight across all<br>
non-fully-integrated desktop environments (would be a simple addition<br>
to output-power-management [1]), so that a single tool can work for<br>
multiple compositors.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yeah, I mean, as one of the main people arguing that non-fully-integrated desktops are not the design we want, I agree with Simon.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Daniel</div></div></blockquote></div>
