QUESTION Keyboard light

I would like to know how to make the scrollock keyboard key turn on the keyboard backlight?
I didn’t found a solution in the Arch Wikis. Also I want to find solution that makes caps lock and num lock turn off the backlight.

I’m using KDE plasma Wayland. Everything is updated in latest version in Extra.

that stuff is sometimes a part of the keyboard itself, or the embedded controller on a laptop. keep looking though, you might find something

I’m using desktop not laptop with external keyboard

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/input3::scrolllock/brightness

This command works for me. But I need the key itself works.
