Inhibit sleep when running stuff in the terminal. Thoughts? (discuss.kde.org)

A person, on the Gnome Issue, suggested that terminals inhibit sleep when there is stuff running in them.

Continuing from that discussion, I am trying to understand, at which point it would be desirable to implement said inhibition - terminal emulator, the shell or the program itself

Additionally:

  • We don't want to inhibit when running stuff like htop, less, watch
