DDC Brightness Control

This project aims to be a simple and easy to use DDC brightness control plugin for Gnome

Features

Brightness control via panel
Adjustable keybindings for brightness controls
- Active screen detection
- By default, keybinding is alt+shift+f1/f2 for down/up on the active display
Display linking if you want to adjust all displays at once

Would be nice to get this added to the system status menu at some point instead of its own dot
Support for direct i2c or better ddc controllers (not ddcutil)
You tell me

(Examples use arch, but all packages should be available on other distros as well)

Be sure to have ddcutil installed it is a hard requirement for now

Also, if installing from source install just which is the chosen command runner for this project

sudo pacman -Syu ddcutil just

Add your user to the i2c group so it can use i2c without root and reboot/login+out

sudo usermod -aG i2c $USER
reboot

Now install the extension from version control (until we get to the gnome extension store)

git clone https://github.com/lucasoskorep/ddc-brightness-control
cd ddc-brightness-control
just install

You need a couple of other things for development ideally

just install

just lint
just lint-fix #(auto fixes what it can via eslint)

just live-debug
