LOL Thankyou! Seems Plasma 6 strikes again.

Are you using KDE? There is a switch located near the clock in the taskbar and it looks like a sun. It used to control the backlight initial color with that key. A user informed me about that setting. Here the link to a diskussion he started.

Maybe that is helpful.

Color problem. Does not seem to recognize "white" as a color ... we get a deep blue "default" color instead. Simple enough to fix via menu, but that's not permanent.

I overlooked the "d", missed the obvious, sorry my bad. Correct README.md is uploaded. Thanks again.

This: sudo cp -rf /usr/bin/LCD-menu /usr/bin/LCDd

gets the menu working ( note the -rf )... ThankYou!

It looks like you need to update Readme.md file in gitlab as it still references ydotool"d" as opposed to ydotool

sudo systemctl enable --now ydotool # is equal to

sudo systemctl enable ydotool && # make it start on systemstart
sudo systemctl start ydotool # start immediately

Maybe you are using the menu-free installation which is normally installed with lcdproc (the latest PKGBUILD of lcdproc includes the menu, as far as I know).
A general update
paru -Syyuu
should do, else you can try copying /usr/bin/LCD-menu to /usr/bin/LCDd (implied that g15ctrld is already installed)
sudo cp /usr/bin/LCD-menu /usr/bin/LCDd

This: sudo systemctl enable --now ydotoold in gitlab page under installation. also appears at end of "yay -S g15ctrld" as instructions

On G510 ( or at least this install ) "key=0x2b8 Escape" does nothing

Can you please point me directly to where it is said that you have to start ydotoold, so I can correct it? I only own a G510s, the G510 is very similar. The Menu-Buttons are defined in /etc/LCDd.conf as key=0x2b8 Escape,key=0x2b9 Left,key=0x2ba Down,key=0x2bb Up, key=0x2bc Enter. Indeed the second Key "Left" is not used in navigation through the menu. But that belongs to lcdproc, not to g15ctrld. The "first" key ESC is essential, it invokes the menu. Without ESC you cannot use the menu, you can just rotate or stop the sequence of screens. Maybe lcdproc is compiled without menu, but then you should also not be able to change the sreen sequence. The keys work on my G15v1 and on my G510s. It should also work with the G510 also. Please contact me on https://gitlab.com/raycollector/g15ctrld to recover that issue.

Documentation says start ydotoold but you need systemctl start ydotool which brings up ydotoold

Also on G510 only the last 3 keys around the display do anything. First 2 appear dead. FYI.

Typo error - fixed, should work right now
