Developer TODO (don't remove)

  • update documentation

So, I like to adjust my brightness on my devices with press-hold of the volume buttons. I've been doing this on my phone for years, and I just added it to my tablet, but, my tablet backlight is super bright. A value of "1" brightness is just too bright.

I wish I could adjust between brightness values of 0 and 1 in decimal incriments, as in, 0 -> 0.1 -> 0.2 -> 0.3 -> 0.4 -> 0.5 ...

Pretty pretty please?

Hi, brightness is a value between 0 and 255, so it can't be any more granular than that unfortunately.
Here is the android reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System#SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS

The software offers brightness values of 1 .. 20. So, yes, it can be made more granular. I would LOVE access to 0 .. 255 brightness grains.

And just a small correction. The KeyMapper UI allows for 20 steps of repeat, but I just tested 13 steps of brightness increase from 0% to 100%, so it's 1..14 instead of 1..20, on my two modern Samsung Galaxy devices.

Yeah I think I only saw about 10 on my Pixel 8a. I think we can probably just accept a specific value to move up and down by (or even allow setting to a fixed value)
