scrolllock, the only key that can switch keyboard back light can't be activated

Submitted by paillave

Assigned to Wayland bug list

Link to original bug (#104050)

Description

It is impossible to activate the scroll lock key on wayland. This key is the only one that can switch the light of any keyboard with backlight. Unfortunately, on keyboards with backlight, it is impossible to see any key if the light is not switched on. Since wayland is the default window manager of ubuntu, the most important linux distribution, this issue may be a pain for lot of users.

PS: what idiot decided that this key shall never be used in linux?
