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
