power button popup window (solved) (self.linux4noobs)

Is there any way to disable the power button popup window? I'd like it to be just an immediate shutdown switch, not have to confirm or wait 60 seconds...

I'm on Pop OS

Any specifics? Now I'm wondering what other Q.O.L. improvements I should be making. Lol

Nothing off the top of my head that would be universal, but for me things like showing the full path in the file browser, or keeping scroll bars visible, those settings were stashed in there.

You can use a GUI tool like dconf-editor to peruse the settings, but there is a lot - careful not to change anything without googling and understanding the purpose.

I could see showing the full path in the file browser being helpful. I do like it that there's a 'open in terminal' option in the 3-dot menu on pop_os. I've used it a few times already; I'm still learning how to change directories...

The hidden scroll bars is a feature I feel like I've just become desensitized to over time. It's been such common theme for so long now... Lol

Unrelated, but one thing I've been wondering about is if there's a reason why copy and paste functionality is not the same in the terminal as it is in the regular operating system. I feel like having this functionality be the same would be helpful for not having to type everything in directly all the time.
