Type sleep, lock, mute or restart in root search. Every row is subtitled System.
Shut Down, Restart, Log Out and Empty Trash ask for confirmation first. The rest run immediately.

Windows is not supported. No system commands appear there.
On macOS, Show Desktop and Toggle Bluetooth are deliberately absent: one would need Accessibility permission for a Mission Control keystroke, the other needs root.
On Linux, a command whose required binary is missing is hidden from search. The volume, mute and Log Out rows are the exception — they always appear, and tell you at run time if the tool they need is not installed.
