It does have generic tools (eg. xdotool -> ydotool), but the most powerful way is to configure it in the DE/WM itself (eg. KDE’s shortcuts or sway’s bind command). To know if what you are doing is possible with ydotool or on sway, I’d need more specific info.
But my point was rather that it’s cool to have such functionality in the kernel, independent of desktop stack and DE/WM.
Nah … none of that touches on LEDs. It’s just a process for binding special mouse buttons (or any input device, really) to execute commands or emulate keypresses, etc.
Heh. I’ve been doing that shit for ages already, just using xinput, xbindkeys, and xdotool.
Sucks for wayland users tho
If Wayland doesn’t have equivalents to these three tools, then IMO, it’s completely unusable.

Can any of those turn off the unnecessarily bright LEDs?
