I am trying to fix so that I can inc/dec screen/keyboard brightness with my fn + f(1-12) keys.

When I run xev and try to inc/dec my screen brightness then it tells me:

Decrease

 KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
 root 0x14f, subw 0x0, time 11694355, (-284,466), root:(685,532),
 state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES,
 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
 XFilterEvent returns: False

Increase

 MappingNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
 request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 248

 FocusOut event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
 mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

 FocusIn event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
 mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

 KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
 keys: 68 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 

So it seems to me that the decrease is being captured correctly with theXF86MonBrightnessDown

While Im not sure what is happening with Increase.

I am being able to inc/dec with xbacklight -inc/-dec 20 and in my i3 config file i put this:

 # increase screen brightness
 bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec xbacklight -inc 20
 # decrease screen brightness
 bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec xbacklight -dec 20 

However non of these work (even though it seems that decrease should, right)?
