# Power Dial
A GNOME Shell extension that provides a quick power menu with suspend, restart, power off, and logout options.
> Restart your system after enabling the extension for the keyboard shortcut to work properly.
## Usage
### Accessing Power Dial
**Two ways to open the menu:**
- **Keyboard Shortcut**: Press `Alt + F5` (or your custom shortcut)
- **Top Bar Icon**: Click the power icon in the GNOME top bar (if enabled)
> Both methods open the same power menu with suspend, restart, power off, and logout options.
## Requirements
- GNOME Shell 45 or later
- Works on both X11 and Wayland
## Power Options
- **Suspend**: Put system to sleep (immediate action)
- **Restart**: Reboot the system (configurable confirmation)
- **Power Off**: Shutdown the system (configurable confirmation)
- **Log Out**: End current user session (configurable confirmation)
> Restart, Power Off, and Log Out actions can be set to execute immediately or show a confirmation dialog through the preferences.
## User Preferences
### Keyboard Shortcut
Customize the key combination to open Power Dial:
- **Default**: `Alt + F5`
- **Customizable**: Access through GNOME Extensions preferences
- **Advanced Support**: Use multi-key combinations like `Alt + Shift + F5` or `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + A`
- **Universal Compatibility**: Supports all keyboards including Windows and macOS layouts
### Display Mode
Choose how the power options are presented:
- **Stacked** (default): Vertical list layout with icons - compact and traditional
- **Tiled**: 2x2 grid layout - modern card-based interface with keyboard navigation
- **Icons with Labels** (default): Display both icons and text labels
- **Icons Only**: Show only icons for a minimalist look
- **Labels Only**: Display text labels without icons
### Top Bar Icon
Control the visibility of the Power Dial icon in the GNOME top bar:
- **Enabled** (default): Show icon in top bar for quick access
- **Disabled**: Hide icon - access only via keyboard shortcut
### Power Options Confirmation
Customize the behavior of power actions to match your workflow:
- **Confirm** (default): Show GNOME's native confirmation dialog before executing the action
- **Immediate**: Execute the action immediately without confirmation
> Configure each action independently: Restart, Power Off, and Log Out can each have their own confirmation preference.

Download and enable the extension from the GNOME Extensions website:
