💡 Pro Tip: Faster Workflow

Since this extension triggers when no windows are focused (on the desktop), you can make it even faster by setting a shortcut to "Show Desktop":

1. Set Super + D to hide all windows:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings show-desktop "['<Super>d']"

2. Now you can simply press Super + D followed by Alt + F4 to access the power menu from anywhere!

Usage

• Press Alt+F4 when no windows are active to trigger the dialogue.
