Problem

In Elementary 8.0 (Pre-Release) I can choose the effect of hitting the power button. I can choose from "Do nothing", "Suspend" or "Prompt to shutdown". What I can't choose (yet), is to "Turn off display".

Proposal

Add the option to "Turn off display" when pushing the Power Button. Thank you for considering it!

Prior Art (Optional)

Currently these options come from GNOME Settings Daemon and they don't off a screen off option, so implementing this would require taking over that functionality completely, I think.

I'm kind of not sure about the value of having a screen off option over the suspend option though? Is there a case where you just want to turn off the display but for some reason don't want to suspend?
