https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466023 --- Comment #6 from Porkepix --- Still seeing the same thing on 5.27.1, so I filed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466344 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466345 Also, if the escape key is a toggle on/off for the display, maybe then it could start turned off but then bu turned back on by using the key? Anyway, let's see what happens with those two bugs first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466023 --- Comment #5 from Nate Graham --- Weird, it's supposed to work as of Plasma 5.27. It works for me. Can you upgrade to 5.27.1 and see if that's still broken? If so, please file a new bug report for it. Also, turning off the keyboard backlight when hitting the Esc key to turn the screen off seems reasonable. Can you file a new bug report/feature request for that too? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

So, I just learned it's supposed to do that, but for me it isn't: pressing esc just hide everything else than wallpapers and date/time, but it doesn't turn off the screen, nor does it for the keyboard backlight. > > Why would one lock its screen to watch a password input after that? > When using the lock screen as an old-school screensaver (e.g. with an > animated background) that you like to be able to see.

So, I didn't knew it could be animated, and I'm sorry if it sounded mean or unfriendly toward people, I didn't mean for that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466023 --- Comment #2 from Porkepix --- You might want to turn the screen off and locked while not putting the system to sleep, for example if you play music/radio on it. For a personal situation, I do so when going to sleep and had such behavior with other lockscreens, I found this pretty handy, and I never saw a situation where I manually lock my screen and… want to watch it after…? Why would one lock its screen to watch a password input after that? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It would be quite weird if you lock your laptop's screen and then it immediately becomes almost illegible but still interactive due to the backlight turning off. If the goal is to save energy, just put the whole system to sleep. No can do, sorry. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
