Feature Description
An IPC command for managing the power profiles would be nice to have instead of having to go and manually open the menu every time
Use Case
I came from KDE and got very used to pressing Super+B to quickly change power profiles without having to go manually open its menu and would like to recreate the behavior in DMS
I would bind Mod+B to dms ipc powerprofile cycle to easily switch between them
Compositor(s)
All compositors
If Other, please specify
No response
Proposed Solution
Something along the lines of dms ipc powerprofile [option] with the options being close, open, toggle, list, set, cycle
You would be able to open the power profile menu and also change which one is set with IPC
Since there are 3 options, I think there should be an option to change them in order with cycle so you could go from Power Saver -> Balanced -> Performance and then back to Power Saver by sending a single command repeatedly
Alternatives/Existing Solutions
I know you can do this with stuff like busctl, but DMS isn't aware of these changes so it won't show a popup indicating that it got changed, and the menu will have outdated information until you manually update it in DMS's power profile menu
