In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the "goto place for everything you want to do", the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash:
- Reboot
- Restart (another alias a user might intuitively type to achieve reboot)
- Shutdown (other intuitive possibilities: , "shut down", "turn off")
I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this:
That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard. Try to access it without your mouse! It might be possible, but if so, it is not intuitive. I realized this today, when I encounter a bug where my mouse cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
Additionally, ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289
There are clearly circumstances where it would be very nice to reboot or shutdown your computer via the dash. As a matter of fact, I think it would be my preferred method of achieving these task if it were available. Instead of mousing to the gear menu (and clicking a menu option), I would much rather hit the super key and type "reboot" or "restart".

I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this:
That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard. Try to access it without your mouse! It might be possible, but if so, it is not intuitive. I realized this today, when I encountered a bug where my mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
Additionally, ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option:

There are clearly circumstances where it would be very nice to reboot or shutdown your computer via the dash. As a matter of fact, I think it would be my preferred method of achieving these task if it were available. Instead of mousing to the gear menu (and clicking a menu option), I would much rather hit the super key and type "reboot" or "restart".
Granted, I could achieve this via Unity Alt-key menu, or by hitting ctrl-alt-T, but you have to type "sudo reboot" (and enter your dang password) to achieve this. I'd rather go the gear-icon-method than be required to type my password!
Therefore, this unity-dash method I'm proposing would be a nice compromise. And, from an intuitive perspective, its simply an oversight (everyone has ignored) that should have been there all along, respectfully.

In their efforts to make the Unity Dash the "goto place for everything you want to do", the developers have over looked 3 fundamental tasks that a user might intuitively try to achieve with the unity dash:
- Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this)
- Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off")
- logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff")
- Suspend/hibernate
- Lock
- Switch User
I realize that the gear-icon-menu is the intended method for achieving such tasks, but consider this:
That menu is not intuitively accessible via the keyboard. Try to access it without your mouse! It might be possible, but if so, it is not intuitive. I realized this today, when I encountered a bug where my mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
Additionally, ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289
There are clearly circumstances where it would be very nice to reboot or shutdown your computer via the dash. As a matter of fact, I think it would be my preferred method of achieving these task if it were available. Instead of mousing to the gear menu (and clicking a menu option), I would much rather hit the super key and type "reboot" or "restart".
Granted, I could achieve this via Unity Alt-key menu, or by hitting ctrl-alt-T, but you have to type "sudo reboot" (and enter your dang password) to achieve this. I'd rather go the gear-icon-method than be required to type my password!
Therefore, this unity-dash method I'm proposing would be a nice compromise. And, from an intuitive perspective, its simply an oversight (everyone has ignored) that should have been there all along, respectfully.

This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and session actions directly within the Dash:
- Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this)
- Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off")
- logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff")
- Suspend/hibernate
- Lock
- Switch User
Currently these user-initiates actions are presented via the Devices (cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using either:
1. [Alt]+[F10] [Left] [Up/Down] [Enter]
2. [Alt] "Shutdown"/"Log out" [Up/Down] [Enter]
3. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] [Enter] ("Log off" only)
4. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[t] "sudo reboot" [Enter]
(Note that "Restart"/"Reboot" can be access directly via these methods).
These methods are less likely to be found by the user than surfacing these actions additionally within the Dash. This would help in cases were a mouse/point is no longer available, such as "mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
This would also assist with "ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289
It is proposed by surfacing these options in the Unity Dash, that finding the actions would be more intuitive, and would make the Dash feel more complete as the defacto first-point-of-call for user initiated actions.

Implementation possibilities:
1. Hard-code special-case actions into the Dash (requires Design review, code and ship acceptance)
2. Implement as Dash plugin (requires code and ship acceptance)
3. Install additional .desktop listing the Name, Icon and Aliases in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop (can be provided by a separate optional package, only requires ship acceptance)

description |
This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and session actions directly within the Dash:
- Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this)
- Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off")
- logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff")
- Suspend/hibernate
- Lock
- Switch User
Currently these user-initiates actions are presented via the Devices (cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using either:
1. [Alt]+[F10] [Left] [Up/Down] [Enter]
2. [Alt] "Shutdown"/"Log out" [Up/Down] [Enter]
3. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] [Enter] ("Log off" only)
4. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[t] "sudo reboot" [Enter]
(Note that "Restart"/"Reboot" can be access directly via these methods).
These methods are less likely to be found by the user than surfacing these actions additionally within the Dash. This would help in cases were a mouse/point is no longer available, such as "mouse-cursor did not appear after logging in to the Unity Desktop"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
This would also assist with "ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289
It is proposed by surfacing these options in the Unity Dash, that finding the actions would be more intuitive, and would make the Dash feel more complete as the defacto first-point-of-call for user initiated actions.
Implementation possibilities:
1. Hard-code special-case actions into the Dash (requires Design review, code and ship acceptance)
2. Implement as Dash plugin (requires code and ship acceptance)
3. Install additional .desktop listing the Name, Icon and Aliases in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop (can be provided by a separate optional package, only requires ship acceptance)
