hello @Thanatermesis I usually note important tricks, shortcuts, command but lost one important for me You once gave me a command to dim / put my screen asleep. I lost and don't remember the command I had associated to a shortcut on one of my previous installations... Do you know what i mean ?

xset dpms force off I've got it Google :wink:

Ahmmm, you don't use Cairo? There is usually a button for it ( depends on your hardware) ( ?? )

Methinks you're looking for "sudo brightnessctl set 10%-" to dim incrementaly or use + to make brighter. Or: "sudo systemctl [suspend|sleep|hybrid-sleep|hibernate]" take your pick of the last command-option to put your system to sleep. Otherwise there's always standard "i3lock" to lock your scre…

[image] yoda: xset dpms force off tks but no, for my Home Desktop PC that I do not always LOCK, I was really looking for this xset dpms force off

Ah yes, the command for which I use the on/of button. :surprise:

Take care! Don't copy that command verbatim. The formatting gets lost in the link preview. Click the link and go there for the correct formatting.

If you get lost on the way, give us a shout we'll push you in the right direction. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

That is very possible. I remember seeing howto somewhere.
IIRC I even mentionned it to you somewhere in a screen-lock thread.
