Is there a way to configure the keyboard backlight timeout ?

Hi,

the default 30 seconds to deactivate the keyboard backlight after no keyboard input does not fit my use cases.
Since you can change the color and intensity in the Control Center I wondered if you can change the timeout as well?

Or is there maybe a config file I did not stumble upon yet?

Thanks in advance!

I asked and such functionality is not a part of tuxedo-drivers because there shouldn't be timers in a driver. This seems to be controlled by the desktop environment. At the same time when the screen gets dark the keyboard turns off as well in KDE. That screen timeout can be configured in the energy settings.

If you go to "Energy and Battery" within the tray and change "Sleep and Screen Lock after Inactivity" to have "Manually block" set to "Blocked", the keyboard does not turn off, but so does the screen.

Based on the information I have, I am not sure if I can add such into tcc. Seems like the kde bug tracker is still open.

Thanks for your reply. This does not seem to be the case, though. I am on KDE Plasma 6.1.4 and the backlight turns of after 30 seconds no matter my settings:

Do you if a feature exists, to let the light stay always on?
I can use the Fn Key + media keys to disable/enable the backlight myself anyway...
