SUMMARY shutdown by key should be possible without skipping services of the OS STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Nothing to reproduce as this feature lacks as of now 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT see additional information below EXPECTED RESULT see additional information below SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A kde session can be closed by using the mouse: launcher > leave > shut down Usage of just the key board is preferable. So it would be fine to have information about which file is activated by the sequence above. This information should be readily available, e.g. when pointing the mouse pointer on 'shut down'. Then one could use it by including it in a skript which could be activated by a shortcut. Having just halt or shutdown in a script would not help as I am told that several kde and/or linux services are skipped then. Hopefully my first bugzilla report is understandable for the gurus. A.

That's already possible since years. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to the shutdown actions in systemsettings5->Shortcuts->Global Shortcuts. Check the "KDE Session Management" and "org_kde_powerdevil" components. It's also possible to do it from a script via D-BUS, run something like: qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0 See https://superuser.com/questions/395820/how-to-properly-end-a-kde-session-from-shell-without-root-privileges (you may have to replace qdbus by qdbus-qt5) Please feel free to reopen this bug if I misunderstood you.
