Since Mountain Lion (?) the preferences page only lists one option for keyboard backlighting which is "adjust keyboard brightness in low light". The problem is, this setting does the opposite of what it should. It assumes you want the backlight on all the time, and dims it to match the ambient lighting when the room goes dark.
Recently I've been using a pre-unibody MBP with Lion on it and have the keyboard set to illuminate in low light. This is a lot more useful and I like having the keyboard turn itself on when the lights go out. Is there a way to accomplish that in Mavericks? I tried the Lab-Tick app but that doesn't seen to do what I'm looking for.
And please don't suggest I install Lion on my 2012 MBA
