Disable the Power Button or make it do something else - User 22018 - 05-29-2021
Loving the Pinebook Pro on i3 Manjaro, but the power button is too close to the backspace and I keep hitting it.
I've tried the two things in this guide: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8261&highlight=disable+power+button
1. Editing the logind.conf file
2. this fancy commmand : systemd-inhibit --what=handle-power-key --who=i3 --why="accidental strike defense" sleep infinity
Neither of these two things worked and I've not found a solution on the manjaro forum.
Any advice?

Hi, dont know for i3, on sway i did :
1/ inhibit powerbutton in systemd/logind.conf
HandlePowerKey=ignore
2/ sway/config
# power button
bindsym XF86PowerOff exec ~/bin/wayland_toggle_screen.sh
3/ with wayland_toggle_screen.sh :
#!/bin/sh
read lcd < /tmp/lcd
if [ "$lcd" -eq "0" ]; then
swaymsg "output * dpms on"
echo 1 > /tmp/lcd
else
swaymsg "output * dpms off"
echo 0 > /tmp/lcd
fi
it works nice (powerbutton does switch screen on/off)

# Set shut down, restart and locking features
bindsym $mod+0 mode "$mode_system"
bindsym XF86PowerOff mode "$mode_system"
My only thought is maybe its a different key code on ANSI keyboard?

Your response is quite incomplete.
Does 1 (inhibit power button) works ? after editing logind.conf, systemctl restart systemd-logind.service, or reboot.
Does your bind mod+0 works ? If it doesnt, not a problem of keycode, but code, in your conf.
Assuming you use i3, you must use x11, so try use xev to get your keycodes (mine is ansi too).

You are right, I wasn't helping with the lack of info.
1 (inhibit power button) didn't work, mod+0 worked fine.
Today, I added HandleSuspendKey=ignore and HandleHibernateKey=ignore to logind.conf then ran systemctl restart systemd-logind.service
and it is now working fine. Not sure if it is the extra entries, or restarting the service that did it.

instead of modifying logind.conf you can use https://www.linux.org/docs/man1/systemd-inhibit.html to take the lock on the handlepowerkey.
So that when sway is running the powerkey is inhibited and when it is stopped it isnt.

i disable the power button via systemd and bind wlogout to sway exit.
