Auto Turn-off for inactivity #69

I don't know if this feature works on other systems. On my Asus UX331UN backlight works but the controls for keyboard backlight aren't present in system menu so I am not able to auto turn it off for inactivity. This would be a very useful feature to improve LEDs life and usability (i.e. you are watching a fullscreen video in a very dark room, the keyboard backlight disturbes your eyes from focusing on the video.)

Edit: Looking through other issues I've found that this is known under Catalina.

In macOS 11, I see the option that turn off the keyboard backlight after 5 seconds image

It used to be broken on Catalina and above. Fixed in v1.3.0
