Description Justin Zobel 2023-05-08 12:21:08 UTC

Meta/Super/Win + P currently opens a nice OSD for managing outputs for displays purely from a keyboard without any mouse interaction.

I would like to see a similar implementation for Power Profiles which could be set to Meta/Super/Win + B (currently does nothing on my laptop).

This would allow users who are typing or keyboard focussed to quickly adjust the Power Profile of their system if they see their laptop is now at a critical battery level or quickly boost to the Performance profile for some resource intensive task.

Add interactive OSD to switch power profiles

To trigger the OSD, press Meta+B. It should also work with the battery
function key that some laptops have

There's a lot of copy-paste from the KScreen OSD so eventually we might
want to make it some sort of reusable component.
