How to change the shortcut to adjust brightness?

  • 772

I want to make my own shortcut to increase or decrease brightness.

I don't like the default shortcut of my HP laptop (Fn + F7 to decrease and Fn + F8 to increase).

Is it possible?

    Yes I did it again! Thanks to myself!

    1) Install XDoTool and Compiz 

    sudo aptitude install xdotool compizconfig-settings-manager

    2) Open CompizConfig Settings Manager

    ccsm

    3) Go to commands and add this lines: 

    xdotool key XF86MonBrightnessUp  

xdotool key XF86MonBrightnessDown

    enter image description here

    I hope I enjoy ;-)
