Increasing run-time

uConsole

i did my own take on this, but made it in bash

#!/bin/bash

brightness=$(cat /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/brightness)
maxBrightness=$(cat /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/max_brightness)

if (( $1 > 0 ))
then
        if (($brightness+$1 < $maxBrightness))
        then
                echo $(($brightness+$1)) > /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/brightness;
        else
                echo $maxBrightness > /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/brightness
        fi;
else
        if (($brightness > 0))
        then
                if (($brightness-$2 > 0))
                then
                        echo $(($brightness-$2)) > /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/brightness;
                else
                        echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight@0/brightness;
                fi;
        fi;
fi;

in my i3 config i use this to change my brightness

bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec /home/$USER/scripts/backlight 2 0
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec /home/$USER/scripts/backlight 0 2

the first argument determines how much to increase brightness by. if its 0 then it will take the second argument as how much to decrease brightness by
