Hey there,
I used to have a command run 10 seconds after the screen is locked which turned all displays off. I can't find the option to run a command when the screen locks anymore.
In Plasma 5 I used this:
This is what it looks like in Plasma 6:
Is there another place to do this now?

What you want is now a built in option, you can set the screen saver timeout for when the screen is locked separately from the normal timeout

Ah, not sure how I overlooked that one.
However, it seems to be tied to the normal screen timeout which I can't use because KDE does not recognize all fullscreen applications correctly when playing games with a controller. I put 360 minutes as timeout for now, that should be sufficient.
Out of interest, is the "Run command" option still available somewhere or was it removed in Plasma 6?

I don't know tbh, I see neither any MR that removed it, nor the option you're talking about.

As a workaround, you can press esc after locking the screen and it will turn off.

Out of curiosity, which OS ?

Fedora 40. Runs pretty well, even pre-beta.

I've got some scripts that run on unlock and I'm also wondering:

You could instead
Both where in the energy settings in plasma 5, I am pretty sure they are still there.
