Description Samir 2024-10-13 14:40:23 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I’m watching a video or similar on my laptop, I don’t want the screen dimming, but I’d like if the keyboard went dark after 10-15 seconds of inactivity, and light up again as soon as I touch the trackpad or press a key.

I think Dell laptops handle this automatically, but Asus just stays on the set brightness until it’s changed by me or the OS.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings > Power Management
2. Look for a way to set a timeout for keyboard backlight

OBSERVED RESULT
Only available through "Dim automatically"

EXPECTED RESULT
Separate timing for turning off keyboard backlight without dimming screen
