and I used vim, which I still call vi, because nano we used to call WordStar and it makes me all teary-eye nostalgic for 80186 DOS4 Borland-Product days with every key command.

Open terminal, and run:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

You may need to reboot to make it work.

systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

Speaking of which, how does one tell 13 to ignore closing the lid when charging? I have a cat; lid closing in the midst of doing work is a frequent occurrence. ๐Ÿ˜ธ
