Bug#826186: gnome-control-center: show shortcuts to change screen brightness

[nick]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.20.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be nice if the settings --> keyboard shortcuts thing had shortcuts to
change screen brightness, instead of requiring custom shortcuts to do this.

The reason I'm thinking about this is because I just got a chromebook where the
brightness keys didn't work after the Debian installation, so I had to look up
a command to change brightness incrementally and then use that command in a
custom shortcut. This worked fine but it was just inconvenient. It would be
much nicer to have just clicked on something like "volume up" and then pressed
the key I wanted to map it to.
