Hi, My laptop actually had a key which shutdown the light on the monitor (still showing content on the screen and was barely noticeable without the backlit on).
However, the "use case" Lupius (coolincarl) mentioned seems much better. If you really want to close your laptop you could just press the physical button to do so. So, hopefully we will get to live to see this feature implemented :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012277 Title: Closing laptop lid should not blank external monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/1012277/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
