Sorry for the lack of updates recently… busy times 😓. Happy testing!

AC Power Update

• Less aggressive awake handling when the MacBook lid is closed by using the caffeinate -di command instead of caffeinate -disu

• You can revert back to the previous behaviour by pasting the following snippet into Terminal.app:

  defaults write info.marcel-dierkes.KeepingYouAwake.PreventSleepOnACPower -bool YES
  

• ctrl + click will now display the menu

I wish everyone a productive new year!
