Thanks for the pointer.

And regarding the trigger - I've tried below use case
on my desktop Debian:

Ctrl+Alt+F3 to change the console

Then logged in and executed tty command:

$ tty
$ /dev/tty3

$ cd /sys/class/leds/input5\:\:capslock
note: this is LED on my USB keyboard and it works correct
with e.g. timer trigger

/sys/class/leds/input5::capslock$ echo tty > trigger

$ cat /sys/class/tty/tty3/dev > dev

Type some characters.

LED does not blink.

$ echo "aaa" > /dev/tty3
$ aaa

LED also does not blink.

I assume this is correct test case for tty trigger?
