# Find the following items, uncomment if necessary:
#    HandleLidSwitch: When the laptop is on battery power
#    HandleLidSwitchExternalPower: When the laptop is plugged into a power outlet
#    HandleLidSwitchDocked: When the laptop is connected to a docking station
# And update the value to one of:
#    lock: lock when lid is closed
#    ignore: do nothing
#    poweroff: shutdown
#    hibernate: hibernate when lid is closed
# In my case, I use:
