After having problems finding a distro that would work with my laptop's touchpad, I found that Ubuntu 20.10 works with it, which is what I'm currently using. Most of the special F keys (F1, F2, etc...) work with it right off the bat, too, except for the screen brightness -/+ keys. (F11/F12 on my Lenovo Ideapad 3 laptop).
My question is, since Linux Lite distros are based on Ubuntu, I'd assume that the system command for keyboard shortcuts are the same.
For example: "brightness -10" or "backlight --dec -10" would be the system command for turning down the screen brightness using an F key.
I tried to Google the list, but can't find anything, surprisingly. So since I can add new custom keyboard shortcuts, I was wondering what exactly is the Ubuntu command for screen brightness, so I can try to add it manually to the keyboard shortcut list in Settings > Keyboard > Custom Shortcuts.
P.S. The brightness controller in the top-right drop-down menu works, it's just more convenient to make use of the dedicated F keys. I read online that this screen brightness control is a problem with many Ubuntu distros going back to Ubuntu 12.04, lol. I also tried the "acpi_backlight=vendor" solution and several variations of it with no luck. Those solutions were quite old so maybe there's a new kind of "acpi_backlight=vendor" solution?
