[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown"
** Summary changed: - Unity Dash can't understand "restart", "reboot", or "shutdown" + Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown" ** Description changed: In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the "goto place for everything you want to do", the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash: - Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this) - - Shutdown (other intuitive possibilities: , "shut down", "turn off") - - logout ("log out" alias) + - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off") + - logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff") - - I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this: + I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving + such tasks, but consider this: That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard. Try to access it without your mouse! It might be possible, but if so, it is not intuitive. I realized this today, when I encountered a bug where my mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287 Additionally, ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289 There are clearly circumstances where it would be very nice to reboot or shutdown your computer via the dash. As a matter of fact, I think it would be my preferred method of achieving these task if it were available. Instead of mousing to the gear menu (and clicking a menu option), I would much rather hit the super key and type "reboot" or "restart". Granted, I could achieve this via Unity Alt-key menu, or by hitting ctrl-alt-T, but you have to type "sudo reboot" (and enter your dang password) to achieve this. I'd rather go the gear-icon-method than be required to type my password! Therefore, this unity-dash method I'm proposing would be a nice compromise. And, from an intuitive perspective, its simply an oversight (everyone has ignored) that should have been there all along, respectfully.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown"
My intent, in reporting this bug, is not to find a work-around for me specifically, but is to propose a default behavior for the masses. We want to maximize the user-friendliness to a brand new user of Ubuntu Unity, without harming the work-flow of a seasoned professional. This proposal is intended as a usability completeness, in keeping with the goal of achieving tasks via the Unity Dash. The designers of the Unity Dash, have taken great effort to allow new users (and old) to achieve numerous tasks by hitting the super key and typing a short phrase. They've designed several scopes allowing a user find almost anything on their computer (and even scopes that search for things on the internet). So, it seems unusual to me, that (out of all the things you can do with the dash) you cannot search and find such fundamental task as : logout, reboot, suspend, or shutdown. I'm proposing additions to the *default* dash lookup scope, that not only make these tasks available (via the dash), but also activate the corresponding alias-phrases mentioned previously: - Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off") - logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff") - suspend/hibernate -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403293 Title: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown" Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the "goto place for everything you want to do", the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash: - Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off") - logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff") I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this: That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown"
Lonnie: being familiar with the Design team (having worked in it…), my suspicion is that this class of feature improvement often gets bogged down for (very) long periods of time. Therefore a method that can be deployed (or at least prototyped) immediately using existing external mechanisms is far more likely to succeed and get deployed. The example ".desktop" might not be the ultimate solution, but being text files that are immediately deployable without needing system-level privileges I would hope are something yourself, or anyone else, could use for developing a fuller prototype and proposal. ** Description changed: - In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the "goto place for everything - you want to do", the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks - that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash: + This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and + session actions directly within the Dash: - Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off") - logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff") - - Suspend/hibernate - - Lock - - Switch User + - Suspend/hibernate + - Lock + - Switch User + Currently these user-initiates actions are presented via the Devices + (cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using either: - I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this: + 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown"
It used to be possible to do this via the HUD (see Bug #1165420), but not anymore. I agree with making these options available from the Dash (the "Hibernate" option could give some trouble because hibernation is disabled by default; maybe, when disabled, it could open the Help document on how to enable it?). The best place for these options would probably be in a new "System commands" scope (or in the "Alt+F2" scope, if it was accessible from the "Home" scope and from the normal Dash with the Super key). But, for now (Unity 7), I agree with putting some ".desktop" files in the Applications scope, and leaving a "better" solution for Unity 8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403293 Title: Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown" Status in Unity: Triaged Status in Unity Applications Lens: Triaged Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and session actions directly within the Dash: - Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off") - logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff") - Suspend/hibernate - Lock - Switch User Currently these user-initiated actions are presented via the Devices (cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using either: 1.
