SUMMARY The default logout option is "log out" of a user session. This is not a reasonable thing to put as default, since very seldom would someone using a desktop computer want to do that. The year is 2023. Most desktop computers have a single user, who wants to shut down the computer when done using it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del or trigger the logout dialog through some other way. OBSERVED RESULT Offers me to "log out". EXPECTED RESULT Should offer me to either restart the computer (for Ctrl+Alt+Del), shut it down (for buttons elsewhere), or perhaps hibernate.

So just hit the left arrow key once to highlight "Shut Down" and *then* hit the return key? It'll take you a quarter of a second. We've already made new actions for Plasma 6 that you can bind Ctrl+Alt+Del to to pre-highlight something else so you can self-satisfy; at this point I don't think there's anything else we plan to do here, sorry. And TBH I don't really understand what the big deal is that's resulted in you submitting quite so many bug reports about different angles of this. Is it *really* so hard to just hit the left arrow key once?

However, other people use the launcher menu buttons or the Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut, which in MS windows is for restart.
Git commit 4a14559a0562e1bbf59947947c5454a133cc7606 by Nate Graham. Committed on 06/04/2023 at 20:48. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Make "Shut down" the default logout option When pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, the power button, or one of the remaining "Leave" actions, you'll see the logout screen with the default logout action selected. Currently that default action is "Log Out." Most people use single-user machines for which "Shut down" is probably a better default setting. For this reason, switch to Shut Down as the default action in the logout screen when invoking it from Ctrl+Alt+Del, the power button, or one of the remaining "Leave" actions.
