Feature Request: add power management idle setting to system menu

Reported by tri...@gmail.com, Jul 2

Issue description

Chrome Version: 69.0.3473.0
OS Version: 10820.0.0

The extension Keep Awake

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keep-awake/bijihlabcfdnabacffofojgmehjdielb

is really powerful for Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. However, I believe it would be more useful if the functionality of this extension was instead incorporated into the new Launcher. As can be seen from the screenshot, the launcher currently has 5 toggle buttons and there is room to fill the gap left open where a sixth one should be by bringing Keep Awake functions from the extension into the core Launcher settings. Since Keep Awake currently has 3 modes of operation, I would suggest a tertiary-toggle button that goes from off to half-lit to completely on. These three modes of operation would mirror Keep Awake modes.

Summary: Feature Request: add power management idle setting to system menu (was: Feature Request: add Keep Awake settings to launcher)
Over to Sebastien, but note that this is really a request to expose the idle setting from chrome://settings/power in the system menu (not the launcher). Keep Awake is just a Chrome extension; it isn't part of Chrome OS.
I apologize... you're correct, this is being suggested as a System Menu button, not a Launcher button.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The number of pods actually varies quite a bit depending on the Chromebook or Chromebox configuration and hardware. Some may have from 3 to 6.

Regarding the addition, I do not think this is a feature accessed enough to warrant a prominent place in the system settings bubble. We try to keep it as minimal as possible, at least for the time being.
