It be that time of year where it gets cold and shitty here and very long evenings

Since evenings are so long the lights go on early nd then i need to hunt through settings to get dimmer t bring the setting up after haveing it low for darkness the previous time.

What would be really nice would be if hijack could make the dimmer avalable with a knob push.

Even better if it is only avalable as a knob push when the lights are on

I made an ir_translate macro that does this in my car, since I keep my lights on all the time. You can find it in this thread. I use the volume buttons on the remote to do this, but it could be done with other buttons.

Alternately, you could make a Popup menu with a macro that would take you right to the dimmer menu and then you could use the knob to adjust the brightness.

I could do that but i am running out of buttons

The reason it's not on the knob push at the moment is because it's preferable for people to adjust it with the buttons. There is (was?) a hardware flaw on some mk2a's: turning the knob results in noise on the display connector, which corrupts the dimmer commands. This makes it hard to set the dimmer correctly by turning the knob.
