On Plasma 5, when I typed Ctrl-Alt-Del I would get a prompt where the default (preselected) action was Logout, and could just hit Return.
Plasma 6.x, the default action is Shutdown. This is almost never what I want, and has caught me out more than once.
Is this a bug or a feature? Is there a way to change it?

I don't really know but you can have a look at ~/.config/ksmserverrc
Perhaps modifying values on:
[General] shutdownType=2
NOTE: I really do not know if that would help!
Best regards,

Thanks, that's something to look at. Unfortunately the meanings of the various option codes don't seem to be documented anywhere I can find.

Let's ask chatgpt: In KDE, the `shutdownType` parameter in the `~/.config/ksmserverrc` file determines the action to be taken when the session ends. The possible values and their meanings are as follows:
- `0`: Logout - This will log out the current user session. - `1`: Reboot - This will restart the computer. - `2`: Halt (or Shutdown) - This will shut down the computer.
So, in your case, `shutdownType=2` means that the system is set to shut down when the session ends.

I'd love to know where ChatGPT found this information, given that it appears to be wrong:

Again, the preselected option in my case is Shutdown, not Logout.

I asked perplexity.ai, which gives references to it's information. Here
is the response: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/n-my-kde-desktop-i-have-in-the-n24VxbEMQnuJ...
It claims it was found on Manjaro forum (ref 4)

Further info: I checked a backup of the ksmserverrc file from a year ago (i.e. on Plasma 5) and the Shutdown parameter has the same value, but at that time I am 100% certain that the preselected option was Logout.
So I'm guessing this is a Plasma 6 bug and I'll report it as such.
