Running git master with new kickoff. I'd like to be able to change the Sleep/Restart/Shut Down buttons to an order and selection of my choosing. e.g. Logout Restart Shutdown.
While adding UI is currently not being considered you can still achieve the desired customization by manually editing config file Here's a step by step guide: 1. Open ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc 2. Find the following line: `plugin=org.kde.plasma.kickoff` 3. Below there should be this line: `[Containments][*][Applets][*][Configuration][General]` (you can't go below `plugin=other plugin`) 4. Under that line insert `primaryActions=2` and `systemFavorites=x` where x is the list of wanted action with `,` as a separator For example: `systemFavorites=logout,reboot,shutdown` for Logout, Restart and Shutdown here's a list of all actions (name in UI in brackets if it differs): suspend(sleep),hibernate,reboot(restart),shutdown,lock-screen,logout,save-session,switch-user
the line of thought being that the feature is too niche to justify having what would be a pretty convoluted UI (when most of the people who request such feature would be satisfied with it being config only)
> (when most of the people who request such feature would be satisfied with it > being config only) In general we try to avoid this. Options that are programmed in the code but not exposed in the GUI tend to bit-rot due to lack of usage. Would/will be fixed by merging https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/288

The patch proposal was interesting, but it seems that it was dropped in the end, correct? So what is the current plan to implement this? Note that I would personally just like kickoff to adhere to the settings in systemsettings, just like it did before. In systemsettings > Startup and Shutdown > Desktop Session, there's already the option "Offer shutdown options". Before, disabling this option would remove shutdown options. Now the button doesn't seem to do anything at all. This is a big problem for everyone who is running a shared server system, as it's much easier for users to shut down the whole server by accident.
