PS:*  not a proposal for implementation ,_but a hint for whoever might
like it_*  : F12 for "xset dpms force off" (turn screen off)
------------------------------------


so don't pick on the F12 key , for me that's a perfect shortcut,for you 
it may not be.

Well , I don't like it , but I think you're right , they are already 
used by apps (F-s), and it may cause a mess .
