Defaults and Preferences

Defaults present in Power Manager.

Defaults are deprecated and no longer recommended for use. Where appropriate, defaults are being replaced by API calls or operating system settings.

The default keys below can be read, written, and removed with the macOS defaults command line tool. Changing a default will change Power Manager’s behaviour after a restart.
