SUMMARY
When using "kscreen-doctor --dpms off" if you don't push the last key quick enough the system will just wake it back up immediately. You have to push the button quickly for it to work. I usually use this "sleep 0.5 ; /usr/bin/kscreen-doctor --dpms off" with hotkeys.

I would like to see a --wait <sec> or something along those lines added.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. equip "kscreen-doctor --dpms off" to a single hotkey.
2. press and hold down that key a fraction of a second too long.

OBSERVED RESULT
screen just comes back immediately.

EXPECTED RESULT
screen turns off.

Can't reproduce this on git master, and I recall some changes to not re-enable screens on key repeat, so this should be fixed.
