Kabey Lake lit keyboard function (stays off on key stroke)

The chromebook would back light the keys when any of the keys were pressed. This feature is now off.

In days of old 2016 this was a request for this type of issue: Could you do me a favor and run: xev in a terminal. Then when the window shows up, press the media key that isn't working. Then post the output here and I'll see if I can modify the keyboard map.
