[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown
My intent, in reporting this bug, is not to find a work-around for me specifically, but is to propose a default behavior for the masses. We want to maximize the user-friendliness to a brand new user of Ubuntu Unity, without harming the work-flow of a seasoned professional. This proposal is intended as a usability completeness, in keeping with the goal of achieving tasks via the Unity Dash. The designers of the Unity Dash, have taken great effort to allow new users (and old) to achieve numerous tasks by hitting the super key and typing a short phrase. They've designed several scopes allowing a user find almost anything on their computer (and even scopes that search for things on the internet). So, it seems unusual to me, that (out of all the things you can do with the dash) you cannot search and find such fundamental task as : logout, reboot, suspend, or shutdown. I'm proposing additions to the *default* dash lookup scope, that not only make these tasks available (via the dash), but also activate the corresponding alias-phrases mentioned previously: - Reboot (restart is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: shut down, turn off) - logout (aliases: log out, log off and logoff) - suspend/hibernate -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403293 Title: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the goto place for everything you want to do, the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash: - Reboot (restart is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: shut down, turn off) - logout (aliases: log out, log off and logoff) I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this: That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown
Lonnie: being familiar with the Design team (having worked in it…), my suspicion is that this class of feature improvement often gets bogged down for (very) long periods of time. Therefore a method that can be deployed (or at least prototyped) immediately using existing external mechanisms is far more likely to succeed and get deployed.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown
It used to be possible to do this via the HUD (see Bug #1165420), but not anymore. I agree with making these options available from the Dash (the Hibernate option could give some trouble because hibernation is disabled by default; maybe, when disabled, it could open the Help document on how to enable it?). The best place for these options would probably be in a new System commands scope (or in the Alt+F2 scope, if it was accessible from the Home scope and from the normal Dash with the Super key). But, for now (Unity 7), I agree with putting some .desktop files in the Applications scope, and leaving a better solution for Unity 8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403293 Title: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown Status in Unity: Triaged Status in Unity Applications Lens: Triaged Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and session actions directly within the Dash: - Reboot (restart is another good alias for this) - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: shut down, turn off) - logout (aliases: log out, log off and logoff) - Suspend/hibernate - Lock - Switch User Currently these user-initiated actions are presented via the Devices (cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using either: 1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1403293] Re: Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown
** Summary changed: - Unity Dash can't understand restart, reboot, or shutdown + Unity Dash can't understand logout, reboot, or shutdown ** Description changed: In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the goto place for everything you want to do, the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash: - Reboot (restart is another good alias for this) - - Shutdown (other intuitive possibilities: , shut down, turn off) - - logout (log out alias) + - Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: shut down, turn off) + - logout (aliases: log out, log off and logoff) - - I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this: + I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving + such tasks, but consider this: That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard. Try to access it without your mouse! It might be possible, but if so, it is not intuitive. I realized this today, when I encountered a bug where my mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287 Additionally, ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289 There are clearly circumstances where it would be very nice to reboot or shutdown your computer via the dash. As a matter of fact, I think it would be my preferred method of achieving these task if it were available. Instead of mousing to the gear menu (and clicking a menu option), I would much rather hit the super key and type reboot or restart. Granted, I could achieve this via Unity Alt-key menu, or by hitting ctrl-alt-T, but you have to type sudo reboot (and enter your dang password) to achieve this. I'd rather go the gear-icon-method than be required to type my password! Therefore, this unity-dash method I'm proposing would be a nice compromise. And, from an intuitive perspective, its simply an oversight (everyone has ignored) that should have been there all along, respectfully.
