How to have more granular control over Do Not Disturb durations?

As part of the notifications applet, the options for Do Not Disturb are

  • 1 hour
  • 4 hours
  • Until evening
  • Until next morning
  • Until manually disabled

How could I add my own times, say, Do Not Disturb for 2 hours, without manually turning off the DND mode? Also, is there a way to add an option which asks for a custom duration? (Essentially the same as “Until manually disabled”, but not requiring the “manual” part).

Hi! For what it’s worth, there is an open feature request in the KDE Bugtracking System related to this topic: 412471 – Make Do not disturb times configurable with a repeating schedule

That one is more about specifically scheduled times, like what you’d find on a smartphone, but might help address the kinds of use cases you are running into?
