Moving this feature request to powerdevil as kscreenlocker has nothing to do with screen timeouts. XScreenSaver implements this by setting a different power configuration profile while it's running, so it might be possible to implement this without modifying powerdevil. I quite like the idea. I won't promise to work on it anytime soon but I have definitely thought about this quite often. I believe this feature request is still revenant. There isn't a user-friendly way to turn off the display sooner while locked. It seems that: > In Plasma 5.27, pressing Escape on the lock screen will turn off monitors. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/merge_requests/99 Couldn't kscreenlocker use the same mechanism to automatically turn off monitors with a shorter timer than the power profile specifies? I find this a rather important feature to save power. It's been requested over the years by others too: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/ulom4o/lock_and_turn_off_the_screen/ https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9v5748/its_possible_to_turn_off_the_monitor_when_you/ https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/z2klhr/how_do_i_turn_off_the_screen_when_i_lock/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 348529 *** |
