I want a command or keyboard shortcut to enable screen blanking *now* without waiting for the timeout.
I looked thru all the available things for key bindings and didn't see anything obvious, nothing called "Blank", and "Lock" shows the lockscreen, and "Dim" doesn't seem to do anything at all.
Is there a command I can issue (which I would bind to a key myself)? Or a key binding option I'm overlooking?
The reason I want this now is because I started using a second monitor most of the time, and the "display off" button on my laptop only turns off the laptop screen, not the monitor, and I don't want to have to turn two things off, plus monitor doesnt turn back on automatically when I use keyboard like laptop display does. If I wait for the blank timeout tho, both go out, and both come back on when I hit keyboard, so I just wanna initiate that.

I am not aware of Moksha way to do this. But of course I can add it to the code with a shortcut.
I think it is not hard to search for some xrandr solutions over Internet.

Hmmm yeah, maybe what I want is more power saving shutdown than blank too, although in moksha settings what I use is called blanking. I'll check out xrandr tho.

xset dpms force off
This works from command line, but when I make it into a keybinding command, it blanks then comes right back on a half second later....

I'm still trying to find a way to make this work reliably. I believe it has something to do with how I release the keys, as sometimes I can make it work.
I guess what would be ideal tho would be not to issue the command until I release the keys, and it seems it issues the command when I press them. I don't suppose anything I can do about that from user side?

OK, I have a working solution for you. Not a CLI method but a native Moksha one. Let me do some tests and commit if works fine.  Stefan |
