I’m thinking it’s just a matter of priorities for a small team. I’m not sure how to get at the keyboard backlight on windows. Is there an API for it or is it Linux only?
With Linux 6.11 you will be able to do this out of the box without any userspace setup.
The keyboard backlight will be registered through the LED framework and the LED framework gained an “input-events” trigger which is able to enable any LED on input events, and disable it again after a timeout.
Maybe there are even GUIs for trigger configurations.
