dslli stands for Disable Standby Laptop Lid Indicator. It provides an icon to the tray area that shows whether closing the laptop lid will trigger any action or none. You can toggle the action by assigning the provided script to a keyboard shortcut.
From the Release Page, download the latest version of dslli.AppImage and dslli-indicator.AppImage. Next, make both excecutable:
$ chmod +x dslli.AppImage
$ chmod +x dslli-indicator.AppImage
To toggle between the two states, run the following command:
$ ./dslli.AppImage
You can assign this command to a keyboard shortcut.
To display the status of the lid with in indicator icon in the tray area, run the following command:
$ ./dslli-indicator.AppImage
You can add this command to your startup application preferences to start the indicator at system start.
I greatly appreciate the work of Jacob Vlijm who created dslli in response to my original question on AskUbuntu. My mere intention with this repository is to structure his work and prepare it to provide a package that can be easily installed by new users. Moreover, I want to sincerely thank the user probono who helped me on the AppImage Community Forum to create a universally installable AppImage package.
