Bug ID: 486605
Summary: Add option to lock screen when screen turns off
Classification: Plasma
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In each power profile, there should be a way to automatically lock the computer
when the screen is turned off by power management. Currently, you can only set
a separate fixed timer for when screen locker automatically engages, but
there's many downsides to this:
1. You can't have a different screen lock timeout for each power profile.
2. You can't have a setup where you can easily tell whether your laptop is
locked when the screen is off.
For example, my most common usecase is that I'll have my laptop on battery
power with a short screen shutoff time. I'll have my laptop on a desk at work
while I talk with nearby coworkers. During this time, the screen shuts off. If
I later decide to go grab lunch, I have to wake up my screen just to check
whether it properly locked. Most of the time, it isn't because my screen lock
time is set to something longer than the power profile's screen shutoff time. I
would like to have the ability to configure things so that if I see my screen
is off, I can rest assured that it is locked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to one of the power profiles in Energy Saving
2. Notice that there's no "When screen turns off, automatically lock screen"
option
OBSERVED RESULT
There's no "When screen turns off, automatically lock screen" option
EXPECTED RESULT
There's a "When screen turns off, automatically lock screen" option
