When I set the brightness to the minimum it stays at zero visibility, which seems to me as a calibration error.
It's very frustrating if you don't have keyboard shortcuts to increase it again.

On desktop it probably not directly possible - usually depends upon the monitor you're using. Check for on physical buttons for options like auto-calibration etc.

Using CLI: Reference: https://www.how2shout.com/how-to/how-to-change-screen-brightness-in-ubuntu-using-command-terminal.html
Get the connected monitor:
xrandr | grep " connected" | cut -f1 -d " "
Adjust the brightness (for output = VGA-1
):
xrandr --output VGA-1 --brightness 0.5
As for keyboard shortcut you've mentioned you can create custom shortcut using the above command here:
