That would be great!
In KDE 4 i used to have widgets on my lockscreen, allowing me to suspend and
hibernate. But in KDE 5 / Plasma 5 this isn't possible anymore.
I don't like to configure my notebook to go to standby if the display is
closed. Because I like to put the notebook under my arm and go somewhere else,
while the notebook is for example compiling something.
But sometimes I lock my notebook when leaving the office-room without it. And
when I come back, I maybe just want to suspend it, because I'm going home with
it.
And it's ridiculous, that I have to enter my password just to put the notebook
into standby!
In a very general sense of security (NOT regarding the API infrastructure in
KDE): Everyone in the room can just take the battery and ac cable out of my
notebook to hardly shut it down. And suspend/hibernate are even less worse than
a cold shutdown. So there's really no security in protecting theses actions
with the users password.
Hibernating may even help if you're not in place and someone else needs to
unplug/replug the power cable of your desktop pc. So he can power it down
(hibernate) before he unplugs the cable.
Maybe in some scenarios, the ac cable / battery may be not accessible for a
user and you want to keep others from suspending/hibernating the machine. So
it's maybe wise to make this options configurable.
