I'd support if @BrayanDSO is happy, and you provide a quick use case for why you'd want this

Yes, please do fill the Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. section appropriately.

For now, I don't see why that would be needed or expected by the user. And that's something that I consider "too specific" to be put in the app, even for advanced users.

If it were up to me, I would actually consider removing the reviewer setting and making the default either true or false. However, we don't have analytics for that, and I currently lack the patience to discuss that kind of stuff

Tasker, and probably some other automation apps, can do that for you

If there was an opensource app that could keep the screen on, I would use that, but not Tasker 😄 . Nonetheless, I found a setting under developer options that keeps the screen on while charging, which is good enough for my purposes. Sorry for the trouble

Sorry again for not thinking to research separate apps. In fact, there are a couple apps currently on FDroid that are dedicate to keeping the screen on:

  1. Always On Display Toggle
  2. Coffee

I just thought I'd comment with these in case other users request changes like I did or you guys end up discussing scrapping the setting 😁
