To the best of my knowledge, it is currently only possible to turn wifi on/off completely. Meaning e.g. that it stays on even if its not connected to a hotspot and/or screen is off. I would like to kindly request some more advanced features / rules that could be configured:

Turn off wifi if screen off (that is the very basic one which is also supported in android)
Turn wifi on with screen on
Turn wifi off if screen off
Turn wifi off if screen off and not connected to wifi
Turn wifi off if screen off and connected to hotspot but no active SSH session
...

There are of course many more rules that could be thought of, e.g. using also a timer component.

I never thought of such settings. There are not much scenarios I can imagine for the wifi to be activated/deactivated according to screen state. In most cases I want wifi to be turned on to get chat messages, e-mails, calendars to be synced while the screen is blank.

Have you tried the Situations app available in Jolla store? It has a screen on/off condition and you can assign a wifi on/off event to this. You can even fine-tune it by running your own shell script on different conditions.

@jovpov --off topic question: what is your experience from using gemini keyboard ro write on a terminal? how about coding? Is it faster/ more comfortable than screen keyboard that sailfish has? and how about geminy kb vs real desktop kb ?

I like the gemini keyboard (it looks like on old psions, I think same engineer involved) Do not expect to type as fast as on regular keyboard... maybe like 60% (sometimes you need not so logical key combinations for special characters, thats why no 70% of regular speed). I also own GPD Pocket (which has X86 CPU - great advantage over ARM in Gemini) but keyboard is not so good as on Gemini, maybe 40% of regular mac keyboard. On screen keyboard 30% of regular keyboard speed.
