--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
I see the problem. The actions' default shortcuts are
Qt::Key_KeyboardBrightnessUp and Qt::Key_KeyboardBrightnessDown. But many
keyboards don't send those key events when you change the brightness.

For example, the increasingly common paradigm of using Fn+Space to cycle
through brightness levels will not cause either of those key events to be
emitted.

There is the Qt::Key_KeyboardLightOnOff key, but that doesn't seen to be bound
to the "cycle through brightness levels" feature that Fn+Space implements. I
guess that's for backlit keyboard with only one brightness level and a single
key that toggles between on and off.

So it looks we will need to either manually handle those key events, or else
add a new key definition to Qt that gets emitted when you cycle through
keyboard brightness levels, and then handle that here in Powerdevil.
