--- Comment #1 from TraceyC <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the suggestion. The maintainers will need to weigh in on this.

While steps 1 and 2 are available through the battery widget, the overall use
case and feature request is valid.
Middle click the battery widget to block auto sleep and lock (also available
through left click)

I ran into a situation that would have greatly benefitted from a "meeting mode"
with my Dell XPS laptop, which is a few years old, and has horrible battery
life. At Akademy, I realized I could only get about 90 minutes of use on
battery, even with the brightness turned down. I was also using it to take
notes during presentations 90% of the time I was there.

Implementing this would  align with the KDE Eco goal, since it would reduce
energy use as well as allow people to extend the use of older laptops. Since
the back end parts are all there, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement a
mode that sets the correct settings from the UI.
