Shortcut for wifi hotspot

[kbm]

...

That would be even better. I haven't used con up before. Can I just do that for the hotspot?

I am only about half a page ahead of you in the manual  

I got this idea (and most of the code below) from "D J" on the mobian chat so all the credit belongs to them!

Copy/paste the following

Code:

[Desktop Entry] Actions=NetCon;StartHotspot;StopHotspot;disks;firmware;dconf;tweaks;1minSus;30minSus;RestartPhosh;PowerStats;keys Type=Application Name=System GenericName=Suspend Comment=Suspend Icon=/usr/share/icons/desktop-base/128x128/emblems/emblem-debian.png TryExec=systemctl Exec=systemctl suspend Terminal=false Categories=Power;Session; X-Purism-FormFactor=Workstation;Mobile; MimeType= Keywords=suspend [Desktop Action RestartPhosh] Exec=/home/mobian/Scripts/phosh-restart.sh Name=Restart Phosh [Desktop Action PowerStats] Exec=powersupply Name=Powersupply [Desktop Action ModemMgr] Exec=modem-manager-gui Name=Modem Manager [Desktop Action Proc] Exec=gnome-usage Name=Activity Monitor [Desktop Action NetCon] Exec=nm-connection-editor Name=Network Manager [Desktop Action StartHotspot] Exec=nmcli con up Hotspot Name=Start Hotspot [Desktop Action StopHotspot] Exec=nmcli con down Hotspot Name=Stop Hotspot [Desktop Action 30minSus] Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800 Name=30 Minute Suspend [Desktop Action 1minSus] Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 180 Name=3 Minute Suspend [Desktop Action keys] Exec=notify-send "Nope!" "This is just a spacer not an acutal menu item" Name=_______________  ~  _______________ [Desktop Action dconf] Exec=dconf-editor Name=Dconf Editor [Desktop Action firmware] Exec=gnome-firmware Name=Firmware [Desktop Action tweaks] Exec=pmos-tweaks %u Name=Phosh Tweaks [Desktop Action disks] Exec=gnome-disks Name=Disks/Drives

into a file ~/.local/share/applications/mymenu.desktop

After a reboot/relogin (or maybe automagically) you should have a new desktop icon. If you push and hold there will be options to start/stop hotspot.

Note this is pretty crude - it depends on WiFi being up (needs another option!), there are several options in the code not selected as Actions at the top, and the chosen icon doesn't exist in my arch install. So very much WIP but it is the thought that counts!

And many thanks to "D J"

That's awesome! Thanks. I'll give it a try
