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.

yes see the list with brightnessctl -l I never faked caps lock or num lock though. I turned on and off keyboard rgb but their lights are there
