I don't know if i like KDE taking control of the brightness on my desktop
monitor... It's different for HDR and movies but that's not the case here. Can
i disable KDE controlling my plugged-in monitor brightness? This is beyond the
power option, i already have that disabled. Since 6.2 KDE still controls
brightness despite it being disabled in the power options. Probably rightfully
so, i think we need another option for that in the display settings, more on
that below.
Another reason i ask is the keyboard hardware brightness. If you have an
external monitor you quite likely have an external keyboard too. Those external
keyboards don't necessarily have hardware keys to control the brightness.. Thus
you're "stuck" opening the laptop, using it's brightness keys, ... just a
fiddly thing. I rather just turn it off and use my monitor controls to change
brightness.
Here's what i think is needed.
In the KCM for display configuration we need a new toggle. One that explicitly
allows KDE to control the brightness or the monitor. So a toggle by the name
of: "Plasma controls monitor brightness" with an info tooltip reading "When
enabled, plasma's brightness and power controls are used for controlling screen
brightness. When disabled your monitors OSD and keys control brightness."
Yes, when it's toggled that KDE controls it you end up having 2 places in
plasma that affect brightness:
1. KCM Display for even allowing plasma brightness control
2. KCM power for how it's used in relation to power changes
If point 1 is toggled on then plasma brightness keys work and power (point 2)
potentially works though that depends on the power settings itself.
If point 1 is toggled off then KDE does not touch the brightness at all.
