Bad Simplicity

Just add to your .tmux.conf file:

set-window-option -g mode-keys vi
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'v' send -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'y' send -X copy-selection-and-cancel
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'r' send -X rectangle-toggle

First ensure that you have the right permissions to write to the device by adding a new rule for udev (create a new file like /etc/udev/rules.d/99-backlight) with these lines:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", RUN+="/bin/chgrp video /sys/class/backlight/%k/brightness"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", RUN+="/bin/chmod g+w /sys/class/backlight/%k/brightness"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="leds", RUN+="/bin/chgrp video /sys/class/leds/%k/brightness"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="leds", RUN+="/bin/chmod g+w /sys/class/leds/%k/brightness"

You'll have reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

Now you need to add you user to the video group.

You've to install the tool light :

sudo apt install light

And finally you have to add this to your i3wm config

bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec light -A 10
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec light -U 10

xrandr --output <output> --brightness 0.5

Use xrandr --listmonitors to get the name of your monitor

if you Linux suddenly stop compiling the kernel or kernel modules from packages (nvidia, virtualbox) check that you are not using gcc-9 as default C compiler, it has a problem with some parameters needed to compile with protections for the last Intel bugs, showing in the broken compilation like this:

error: '-mindirect-branch' and '-fcf-protection' are not compatible

switching to gcc-8 should fix the problem:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc  /usr/bin/gcc-8 1
