snoop182 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Hello, Thx for your work, this workflow is a must have for MacBook users In release 2022.2 I see actions in live mode --> Alfred open preferences go to the battery Tab check/uncheck checkbox and close preferences window In release 2022.1 all this actions are "hidden" so I don't see them. Continue using 2022.1 MacOS 12.4, MBP 2021 M1 pro Edited June 15, 2022 by snoop182 Link to comment
vitor Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Right you are! Restored the behaviour in 2022.3, while keeping the base for Ventura. snoop182 1 Link to comment

Jakeroid Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 In 2023.2 version I see all actions in realtime. Is it possible to hide that system settings window? Link to comment
vitor Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Welcome @Jakeroid, 2 hours ago, Jakeroid said: Is it possible to hide that system settings window? Technically yes, but the drop-down will always show on top of other windows and be unreliable. So in practice it’s not. Link to comment
Alexander Willner Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 What about using sudo pmset -b lowpowermode 1 and sudo pmset -a lowpowermode 0 instead? Link to comment
vitor Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 That would require authentication every time you change modes, which would take longer and be awfully inconvenient. Link to comment
Alexander Willner Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) I see - I've Touch ID enabled for sudo commands, so it's as inconvenient as the current solution (which also requires authentication). Btw if the following helps: **Version:** v2023.3 on macOS 13.5.2 (22G91) with Alfred 5.1.2 **Steps that will reproduce the problem:** 1. Invoke Alfred 2. Type "lpm" 3. Press enter **What is the expected result:** Battery's Low Power Mode enabled **What happens instead:** Battery's Low Power Mode still the same **Possible workaround:** Use CLI (see above) *Any additional information:** The systems settings app starts, the value is changed (via drop down), authentication via Touch ID is required and the settings app closes. However, the mode did not change Edited September 14 by Alexander Willner Link to comment

The post you linked even says as much: I don’t recommend messing around with this trick if you don’t feel comfortable working in the Terminal app and changing system preference files. 1 hour ago, Alexander Willner said: authentication via Touch ID is required You’re the second person to report that. Maybe your main account isn’t an admin account? Either way, that’s comparatively an edge case and the most common usage needs to be supported. It’s unfortunate Apple doesn’t provide a better way to do this, but the only thing we can do about that is open a Feedback. No idea why changing low power mode isn’t an option on Shortcuts on macOS.
