kde-inhibit

The kde-inhibit command line tool is part of the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It is used to prevent certain actions or events from occurring. This tool is primarily designed to inhibit power management actions, such as suspending, hibernating, or locking the screen, which can be useful during specific activities like presentations or watching videos.

One of the main features of kde-inhibit is the ability to create custom scripts or commands that can be triggered when a specific event occurs. For example, you can create a script to automatically pause a video player when the screen is about to lock.

The tool can be easily invoked from the command line by specifying the action to be inhibited, such as sleep or idle, along with additional options like the duration of the inhibition or the application to be targeted. It also supports specifying a custom message that can be displayed when the inhibition is active.

kde-inhibit is a powerful tool for managing and controlling power actions in the KDE Plasma desktop environment, providing users with more flexibility and control over their computer's behavior in specific situations.
