Public bug reported: I have latest Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r101) installed on Nexus 7 Wifi tablet.
When I have Bluetooth keyboard in use in, say, terminal application - the system dims the screen after a short period of time as if system is not in use. All this time I do use the system - just only via keyboard input. I believe this is the same when wired keyboard is plugged in via OTG cable. In summary: it seems like Ubuntu Touch does not currently register hardware keyboard input as user interaction for the purpose of keeping the high screen brightness and just dims the screen backlight as if there is no user entry/interaction with the device, even when hardware attached keyboard is used all the time. The somehow ugly workaround is to open terminal window and key in: `$ powerd-cli display on bright` and then keep this terminal tab open all the time while you use hardware attached keyboard. This will keep the screen at full bright all the time. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: backlight hardware keyboard screen touch ubuntu ** Description changed: I have latest Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r101) installed on Nexus 7 Wifi tablet.
