How to toggle laptop-mode-tools between AC and Battery

I am trying to set a keyboard shortcut to toggle laptop-mode-tools between AC and Battery settings.

:?:

Is there any idea how to do that?

:idea:

I know how to set a shortcut in KDE. I just want a good script to setup the shortcut. I mean an script which switches laptop-mode-tools to battery mode on the first run and then switches back to AC mode on the second run and so on.

Happy new year!!!

generally such things are run from acpid, see the section 'ac_adapter' in /etc/acpid/default.sh. Anyhow, such a toggle script would look something like the following (requires sys-power/acpi):

That's easy to do... but it seems you want to do it manually.

Some resources on the... ACPI article has `default.sh' script which has an automated variant relying on ACPI, so if hardware ACPI is functionnal do not hesitate to give it a try. Note that, that automated variant rely on hprofile (there is an article as well) which you can adapt to have a manual variant if you feel like it... which brings in a second resource.

Happy RTFMing.
