turn on and off the keyboard backlight with apple script

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Air M1 (that doesn't have the function keys for increasing and decreasing the backlight of the keyboard)

I'm searching to manage the luminosity of the keyboard from the keyboard.

I would not to re-map some keys, so I thought to create an Apple script and link it to a keyboard shortcut with the shortcut app.


The problem is that I don't know the apple script language so I'm here to ask some help to write it or to suggest me other options.


Thank everyone that will help me.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
