I don't understand what the cribbing is all about really: 1. press alt button 2. install the extension 3. if you use a terminal: "poweroff" works there 4. use a different DE 5. use windows/mac Any of the above solutions will work. To avoid pressing one alt button I see folks typing emails discussing how difficult it is to press the alt button? Doesn't that require pressing more keys? So, since it isn't efficiency you're after, what is it? You must be kidding or you are a masochist. It is idiotic to force users to know the magical commands to turn off the computer! On my desktop, yes - I can hold <Alt> and even 10 other keys only to change menu item and power off. But it's really annoying on laptops when I have to quickly switch them off and I do this 3 or 4 times a day. I do not have to mention that it isn't written anywhere (besides the GNOME docs maybe) so users get frustrated when they search for "power off" button. It's very basic functionality and it shouldn't be hidden from anyone nor should require additional steps from the user. Finally, tell my why should I run terminal just to power of my computer? Maybe you propose that I install and run chain of 10 other apps to shutdown the computer? LOL Mateusz Marzantowicz |
