Get brightness in percentage about brightnessctl HOT 6 CLOSED

+1 for a new release it would elegantly simplify my solution :)

from brightnessctl.

Can you cut a new release with this feature so the defactor Arch AUR build is updated and we can get this feature, please.

from brightnessctl.

Will try getting it out on weekend

from brightnessctl.

I believe the percentage flag is what you're looking for, i.e., brightnessctl -P g.

from brightnessctl.

Not available in the latest release:

$ brightnessctl -P g
brightnessctl: invalid option -- 'P'

from brightnessctl.

You can try using this command if you don't wan't to compile yourself brightnessctl i | grep -i current | awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/(//' | sed 's/)//'
