Ending the X-Session

(first: I really like this project)

Problem:

If I exit i3 via mod+shift+e it gets closed, but not the KDE-Environment. Is there any way to also close the KDE-Environment?

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying this!

I think you can rebind what $mod+Shift+e does.
So

bindsym $mod+Shift+e exit

will exit i3. With ; you can execute multiple commands. Something like this should work:

bindsym $mod+Shift+e exit; killall plasmashell

Thanks for the fast answer!
killall plasmashell just kills the overlay of the kde-environment, but it doesn't stop the x-session.

Unsure if this has been resolved but i did this ;killall ksmserver
but im using the i3 nagbar so it may work slightly differently. but just killing plasmashell didnt do enough for me. Just figured id post what i found worked

Thank you for the contribution, @popcorn9499!
This isn't resolved because AFAIK the X Session must be stopped by whom started it (e.g. the login manager) so a general solution is very much appreciated.

Ya when i get a chance I will find a proper solution that is more graceful but that worked for the time being i figured. Better than getting stuck everytime in between closed and not closed. I will let you know what my solution ends up being

I was able to end x (logout) using the following command which also closes i3:
qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 3 3

Does this fix it for you? @popcorn9499 @SE7-KN8
