Is there an option to switch automatically between power modes in MControlCenter?

For example, on my system preferences in kubuntu i have 2 power mode profiles:

MControlCenter doesn't change automatically between power modes if i connect the AC charger or remove it, i have to do it manually. Also, if i'm using the performance mode in system settings and super battery in McontrolCenter the laptop runs really hot because the fans are turned off.

Also is it possible to automatically change the screen refresh rate between power modes? For example, 165Hz with AC connected and 60Hz when only using the battery?

Thank you

No, but this can be added in the future.

Not planned yet.

You can probably write a udev rule: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/321921

I agree with power mode switching - all I'd need for this is just for the tool to support command-line options, that should be easier. Currently my system automatically runs a script when it is plugged-in / unplugged, which uses the command line of cpupower-gui to set the CPUs into a performance mode while plugged in, it would be nice if this script supported command line options so we can do things like that.

Other than that, I love that this has been implemented into linux, specifically the cooler boost is why I installed it, thanks!
