Rename "clamshell mode" to "sleep on lid close"

[TheBestPessimist]

I have seen multiple questions on the topic "G-Helper is putting my laptop to sleep on lid close, even though i set it multiple times to do nothing".
And then you had to teach every person about clamshell and what it is.

Could it be renamed to something better (or have a tooltip). My suggestion would be:

Sleep on lid close and internal monitor

but maybe there is a better phrasing.

All in all, i, too, find "Auto Toggle Clamshell Mode" unintuitive.

It's @IceStormNG 's idea ;) thing is that checkbox will actually disable sleep on lid close when external monitor + power is connected, and enable it back when either monitor or power is disconnected

I called it that way, because Apple calls it like this on Macs, which have that feature built-in. This is usually the common term most people refer to when they talk about this behavior (not sleeping on lid close when power + external display is connected).
Windows has no such feature, so I made it myself and gave it the same name.

Well, for me it's also clear (as i'm a mac user mostly). But I will probably add some kind of tooltip to this checkbox as i have noticed few times already, that not everyone gets what does it mean and do :)

yea, a tooltip would be cool. I did not realize what it was until I was reading all of the past code release notes earlier today.

@seerge @IceStormNG sorry for not knowing, i'm not a mac user ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

FWIW, i hate it when lid closed = sleep. It makes moving around with my laptop a chore as i have to always keep it open 🙄 .

As for the tooltip i don't know how to explain it better than @seerge 's initial reply.

I have added tooltip, this should do the thing

Not sure if the tooltip is as clear as it could be. My confusion is "but i already set it to 'never sleep', so this does nothing?".

Would any of these be more clear?

Enable sleep on lid close *except* when plugged in and external monitor is connected
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

or

Sleep on lid close. Disable sleep on lid close when plugged in and external monitor is connected
^^^^^^^^^^^^

funny how when editing the markdown, the code is monospaced, but when published, it is not

@TheBestPessimist i have spelled literally what it does. It disables sleep. If it's already set to do nothing - nothing would change for you :)
