Shortcut key bind for Night Light #25340

Closed cryptodaddy69 closed 1 year ago

cryptodaddy69 commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

As there is already a timer selector for the windows Night Light feature, instead of going to the action center (sometimes i find it difficult with multiple display monitors) if there was some sort of way to create a short cut key bind for Night Light & possibly maybe in the future other specific windows options that don't allow shortcut key bind functionalities, something like a key bind manager of some sort!

Scenario when this would be used?

As there is already a timer selector for the windows Night Light feature, as my self and I'm sure many other people like to use keyboard shortcuts a lot in order to keep productivity and ease of access instead of finding the action center, I'm assuming if it were to be made it would probably be a toggle on/off function or even the toggle on/off with intensity changer!

Supporting information

what inspired me to make this request to the wonderful powertoys devs was this article/tutorial i found on how to create a shortcut key bind to force your pc to go into screensaver mode without waiting the time, and i tried to do it through creating a shortcut of the apps inside the windows system32 files (and it didnt work because im using wallpaper engine lol) but i did see the process and was trying to figure out if i could make one for the Night Light too but i could not seem to find the right app unfortunately,

here is the link i used as reference https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-screensaver-desktop-shortcuts-hotkeys/#:~:text=Add%20a%20screensaver%20shortcut%20to,Alt%20key%20combination%20for%20it.
