What are you using this for? Because even if the displays are off, the hypridle will still lock the machine too? So how does it differ from just locking? |

@dhh for as long as I can remember (20 years?) I've set the lower right corner of my machine to "sleep displays". It helps the monitors power off more readily when they for sure know no input is coming. So my usual workflow is to turn the displays off before I head up to bed from my home office so the monitor doesn't sense any signal and fully turns off. On macOS it's usually been this 
But sometimes I also invoke it via raycast and my 32" LG 6k goes to sleep almost immediately.
So this is that for Omarchy.

Provides a manual equivalent to macOS's "sleep displays" — powers off all monitors via DPMS without locking or suspending the session. Any input wakes the displays. The new omarchy-cmd-sleep-displays helper detaches the dispatch with a short delay so trailing input from closing the launcher (key release, focus change) doesn't immediately wake the displays.

Summary
default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc), between Lock and Suspendbin/omarchy-cmd-sleep-displayspowers off all monitors via DPMS without locking or suspending the session — any input wakes themMotivation
There's no built-in way to manually sleep just the displays — equivalent to macOS's "sleep displays" / Ctrl+Shift+Power.
Lockbrings up the lock screen,Suspendputs the whole machine to sleep. This sits between them: blank the screens, keep everything else running, wake on any input.Notes
