# Gnome shell extension *Keep Awake* #

Keep your computer awake! Prevent your computer from activating the screensaver, turning off your screen or suspending when it is idle for a while. One click disables screensaver/suspend. Click one more to make the change persistant between restarts (indicated by a small lock in the indicator icon). Click again to reenable screensavers and suspension.

This extension can be helpful when you present a presentation or are watching a video or are reading a document for a while or any else where your computer should be keep awake.

To get the latest released version for Gnome 3.34 or later, get it easily from [extensions.gnome.org](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1097/keep-awake/).

Note: If you want to use this extension for Gnome 3.34 and less, checkout tag [legacy](https://github.com/jenspfahl/KeepAwake/tree/legacy) and install manually as followed.

## Installation ##

Go to [extensions.gnome.org](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1097/keep-awake/) and install *Keep Awake* directly from your browser.

Alternatively:

1. Drop the `KeepAwake@jepfa.de` folder and its contents into `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/`.  
	One way to do this is as follows:
	
	
	```bash
	mkdir git
	cd git
	git clone https://github.com/jenspfahl/KeepAwake.git
	mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
	cp -r KeepAwake/KeepAwake@jepfa.de ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
	```
	You can do `ln -s` instead of `cp -r` if you prefer.
	
2. Restart gnome shell: Press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>F2</kbd>, type <kbd>r</kbd>, press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.  
   If that doesn't work (e.g. on Wayland): log out -> log in
   
3. Install/Run `gnome-tweak-tool` (restart it if it was already running)
4. Go to Extensions and activate KeepAwake.

## Usage ##

When you have configured some screensaver or "sleep" powersaving settings, the icon looks like this.

Toggle it to deactivate all screensaver and powersaving settings. (A small lock icon indicates the setting is persistant between restarts.)
