Hey, how do you set the keys to adjust the screen brightness on a laptop keyboard ?? Right now it's fn + f12 and fn + key pause. My bootloader is opencore. In my laptop acer v3-371, the shortcut from adjusting the screen brightness on the keyboard is the shortcut fn + left arrow key and fn + arrow right key.
You can assign functions to different keys on your keyboard a number of different ways. You can patch your DSDT to include the code which assigns the function keys to work like they would on a real mac.
You could create an SSDT which does the same thing because of how much work it is to patch your DSDT directly instead of hot patching it because it requires you to constantly need to re-patch your DSDT following system updates and bios changes.
You could also choose to forgo both options and simply modify shortcut keys for a whole range of different functions by going to system preferences in macOS and choosing keyboard settings and then going to the shortcuts tab and from there you'll have the ability to assign keys to various fictions that macos is capable of executing.
You could download an app like native display brightness which will allow you to configure your brightness keys only along with some extra options for modifying how backlight control works
