In KDE 5, the Activities settings had an option for overriding (among other things) what actions closing the laptop lid did, so temporarily disabling the lid switch was as simple as switching Activities.
Now, in KDE 6, Activities have been reworked and this option was removed. What is an alternative way for me to, on demand, disable the laptop lid and keep it from putting the system to sleep? And then easily re-enable it again without a reboot or logging off?
The new Activities options for disabling “automatically turning off the screen” and “automatically sleeping and locking” have no effect.

If you mean the “Manually block sleep and screen locking” toggle in the battery icon in the systray, then no, that didn’t stop the lid action.
Yeah that’s the one I meant. Damn, that’s too bad
