Bug Description
Some times I want to change the screen brightness in some time of the day (or when the battery reach a specific level, but that's another bug). It would be useful to have a reflex (like the volume one) to change it for me.

Have the same issue but found a way to do it. Created 2 shell scripts and put them in /usr/bin and then use the reflex "start application (advanced)" to run them when pluged or unpluged
This is where I got the idea from (askubuntu.com):
...one more way we have to do this is with another new program named as xbacklight , open your terminal and type this
sudo apt-get install xbacklight
then type this xbacklight -set 50
there 50 stands for brightness range we can get it upto 100 from 0 .
you can also increase and decrease the brightness from present value to specified level.as you mentioned if you want to increase to 10% from current value of brightness then you can give this
xbacklight -inc 10
and to decrease 10% you can give this
xbacklight -dec 10
