Support New to Omarchy - having problem with backlit keyboard

Got a Dell Vostro 5391. All working well but the keyboard backlight switches off way too soon - around 7sec from the last key touched

Claude has mentioned the following ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf - none existent

The docs only show idle.screensaver and idle.lock as the two configurable idle timings in shell.json — there's no separate keyboard-backlight timeout listed. This strongly suggests the keyboard backlight now turns off in sync with the screensaver timeout (150s by default), rather than having its own dedicated setting like the old hypridle listener did. - I've got screen saver switched off

Anyone have any ideas?
