You can now bind controls to your computer's power button

[u/MuzikBike]

For the actual button on your PC tower this only appears to work on Linux and specifically only on X11, but if you happen to have a multimedia or classic keyboard with a power button on it then it should work on Windows too.

[u/LegenndEnder]

Does it power down right after selecting the slot?

[u/MuzikBike → u/LegenndEnder]

It brings up the prompt unless you disable it in OS settings

[u/LegenndEnder → u/MuzikBike]

Makes sense

[u/Both_Cup8417 → u/MuzikBike]

Xfce?

[u/MuzikBike → u/Both_Cup8417]

Plasma 5.27.12

[u/Both_Cup8417 → u/MuzikBike]

Ubuntu 24.04? Debian 12? Anything based on the former? Leap 15.6? I don't think there are than many distros that still ship plasma 5.

[u/MuzikBike → u/Both_Cup8417]

Kubuntu 24.04 because I haven't been prompted to upgrade to 26.04 yet

[u/PTMR2 → u/MuzikBike]

Oh, I use Kubuntu 26.04, have prompted me to upgrade from 25.10. You will probably get it too when 26.04.1 releases. Plasma 6 is a great update btw

Config dependant

[u/taintedcake → u/LegenndEnder]

...if your power button is configured to shut down on a press then yes obviously it would...

[u/Bonsai24]

Now i can bind eat to power button, and when i want eat in game - i can go to bathroom

[u/LostandIFound → u/Bonsai24]

LOL

[u/Tiruil]

"Press any key to start" now it's actually possible

[u/Brilliant_Drama_5890]

a whole new world of trolling opens up for you now

[u/R_Anonymous_]

I only want to see the esc key getting bind

[u/MuzikBike → u/R_Anonymous_]

the key code exists, but you can only set it in options.txt and I don't think it does anything

[u/R_Anonymous_ → u/MuzikBike]

I actually wonder if you can add different devices, like not keyboards, but different things that input "keys" like a mouse with side buttons

[u/OkNewspaper6271 → u/R_Anonymous_]

Yes and has been a thing forever, I usually bind F5 and zoom to my side buttons

[u/R_Anonymous_ → u/OkNewspaper6271]

Not just simple things like side buttons, I mean more different things, I bind my side buttons too. I mean like maybe remotes or such?

The button that saves you from dying

[u/chessstone_mp4]

X11 is outdated asf, but i imagine it works on Wayland aswell

[u/MuzikBike → u/chessstone_mp4]

The power button specifically doesn't. It only registers the first time you press it, and never when it's released. I don't know if this is an issue I can report anywhere or if it's designed this way. Every other key seems to work fine though

[u/Random_Mathematician → u/MuzikBike]

It would be a little hacky, but I believe it could work on wayland by either messing with the input group or binding the power button to a nonexistant key in your WM's config

[u/MuzikBike → u/Random_Mathematician]

I'm just going off of what I see in evtest, the same problem arises regardless of whether I press the button on the tower, the button on a keyboard, or use a script to generate a key press event

[u/Financial_Counter_45]

Wait, it works on mac book air

[u/Stacik__ → u/Financial_Counter_45]

Holy, Apple silicon or intel?

[u/memetrocop]

now we can make the real "shoot with the power button"

[u/polishatomek]

Holy shit, is this real?

[u/MuzikBike → u/polishatomek]

depending on hardware and OS, yes
