Hi, Thanks a lot for sharing this script. I am trying to control brightness on Ubuntu 18.04, having nvidia 710 graphics card on a desktop.
Is it possible to combine your script with some keyboard shortcut (for ex. ctrl+up, ctrl+dn) to control brightness.
If it is already possible with your script, would you be kind enough and guide on how to achieve it?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
This is a cool script that does its job, but it's hard coded to the first display found by xrandr. If we provide the second connected display as a second argument, it will still using the brightness value of the first display.
I suggest the following changes, if you like this, please commit:
#!/bin/sh
USAGE() {
echo '#############################################'
echo "Please provide two arguments."
echo "First should be - or +"
echo "Second should be a name of connected display"
echo
echo "Please see the list of connected displays:"
xrandr -q|grep -w connected|awk '{print $1}'
echo '#############################################'
}
if xrandr -q | grep -o
CURRBRIGHT=$(xrandr -q --verbose|grep -A 5 $2|awk '/Brightness/ {print $NF}')
if [ -z $CURRBRIGHT ]; then
echo "Current brightness for provided display has an empty value. Is this display connected?"
echo "Please see the list of connected displays:"
xrandr -q|grep -w connected|awk '{print $1}'
exit 1
else
if [ "$1" = "+" ] && [ $(echo "$CURRBRIGHT < 1" | bc) -eq 1 ]
then
xrandr --output
elif [ "$1" = "-" ] && [ $(echo "$CURRBRIGHT > 0" | bc) -eq 1 ]
then
xrandr --output
fi
fi
else
USAGE

@philippnormann Thanks for creating a beautiful piece of code. I had an issue with my Lenovo Legion and I used to manually update the brightness. I found this repo while searching for night mode settings using gamma. This script does both of those things. Now I can automate screen settings and key bindings.
Few suggestions, we can an ability to update gamma/temp and brightness with a single command. I am planning to integrate night mode using this repo.
