KDE Plasma - Lock and turn off screen

Hi forum,

question about KDE Plasma 5.9 I can not believe I have to ask:
Is there a way to lock and turn off the screen when shutting the lid of a machine
The energy options offer either lock (which means the screen in the closed notebook is kept on, idiotic), or the option to turn the screen off, leaving it unlocked when someone opens it again.
Is there a way to make it both turn off the screen and lock the machine?

Thanks

Re: KDE Plasma - Lock and turn off screen

Turning off the screen when closing the lid should be handled by the laptop itself, so you can just set it to "lock". Or you could just set it to suspend on closing the lid, which would turn off the screen, lock it AND save you some power.
