Sentry Crash Report:

Description David 2023-03-07 16:56:47 UTC 
SUMMARY
There is a shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) to trigger the logout dialog with "Log Out" pre-selected. One can generate similar shortcuts for the same dialog with a different option pre-selected by using a widget, but there aren't any such direct shortcuts from the system settings menu to set it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to assign the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del to the logout dialog with the "Restart" option pre-selected.

OBSERVED RESULT
Not possible from the system settings, and not possible to configure the default option after someone decided to remove it in the latest plasma.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should have an easy way to have Ctrl+Alt+Del trigger the logout dialog with "Restart" pre-selected without involving external widgets.

But this is not a duplicate: it's very reasonable to want different shortcuts for "restart", "shutdown", "sleep"; regardless of what's the default logout option.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-03-13 19:58:24 UTC 
All right, fair enough. I do see that we have an action "Reboot without confirmation" so it probably does make sense to add a companion "Reboot [implicitly with confirmation]" action to go along with it.

ksmserver: replace "Halt" with "Shut Down" in user-facing text

"Halt" is technically unclear to the user and sounds vaguely
threatening. Let's instead use the more common, clear, and user-friendly
term "Shut Down" that we use everywhere else.

ksmserver: add "with confirmation" actions for Shut Down and Restart

Currently we have one of these only for logging out, but not also for
restarting or shutting down. Let's add them for consistency's sake.

Oh, cool!  I have almost missed this thread.

Now I just need to finish my patch that binds "without confirmation" and regular shortcuts to Kickoff footer UI.
