Preface

Gnome devs about that decision (Sounds sane).

8 inhibitors listed.

First

c78e19b51bd0e68869da28db394b3ee9880440e1.png

Then

Set InhibitorsMax=0 in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

  • HandlePowerKey=poweroff is default

  • Setting PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=yes instead of above is not working...
    ( 🤪️ man logind.conf: "Low level inhibitor locks ("handle-power-key", "handle-suspend-key", "handle-hibernate-key", "handle-lid-switch"), are always honored, irrespective of this setting.")

Finally

Pressing power button causes shutdown -- without confirmation.

PS: Now, obvious question: Where is i am exhibit idiotic and dangerous behavior?

Disclaimer: If i were your, i'm rather use a custom shortcut!
