How to disable brightness keys?

millus · 2021-01-22 18:49:31

Since laptop brightness keys on my ASUS UX330 randomly work or stop working after pacman -Syu updates and the toggle-display-on/off key never works at all since a year ago or sh, I just made my own scripts for controlling the backlight which I hooked to /etc/acpi/handler.sh script.
This script restores full functionality.

The problem now is that with the latest pacman -Syu two of the 3 brightness keys decided to start working again - and are now interfering with my custom scripts, as both types of brightness-control get applied.

How can I disable the brightness keys and what kind of mechanism are they even using, so that only my acpi handler.sh script is responsible for managing brightness so I always know it works fine? Thanks.
