I have a laptop that spends some of it’s time docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I would like to know how to change some settings depending on if it’s connected to the dock or not. Is there a program that can help with this?
Some possible use-cases include:
- Changing size of the taskbar to smaller/bigger
- Changing the behavior of the taskbar to auto-hide
- Changing the font size smaller/bigger
- Changing power settings performance/battery saver
- Enabling/disabling auto brightness
- Enabling/disabling keyboard backlight
These are just a few things I can think of but can provide more.
Something like Android’s Tasker but for Linux would be great.
I never knew that was called bash, not sure how I missed the name up to this point lol
And Udev sounds like something I’m going to get a hell of a lot of use out of given my love of Tasker on Android (basically have it set to do specific things when certain triggers occur (like connecting or disconnecting to or from specific Bluetooth devices, reading specific NFC tags, etc)). I just never thought of trying to set something up like that on my desktops.
