I’m happy with the most recent modifications to my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
Added the keyboard shortcuts for the top row brightness control keys on my ThinkPad X270. Also added shortcut keys to go all the way up to 97% brightness with “Super+BrightnessUp” and all the way down to 3% brightness with “Super+BrightnessDown.
Installed the “brightnessctl” package in Devuan (Debian/Ubuntu).
<!-- Keybindings for Brightness control keys -->
<keybind key="XF86MonBrightnessUp">
<action name="execute">
<command>brightnessctl set 5%+</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86MonBrightnessDown">
<action name="execute">
<command>brightnessctl set 5%-</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-XF86MonBrightnessUp">
<action name="execute">
<command>brightnessctl set 97%+</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-XF86MonBrightnessDown">
<action name="execute">
<command>brightnessctl set 3%</command>
</action>
</keybind>
