What's the command to keep screen awake (prevent lockscreen)? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

I don't know if this fits your use case (you didn't describe what you want to achieve in detail), but commands that can possible help if the screen did lock (or turn off):

Unlock the lockscreen: loginctl unlock-screen
Turn on the screen: kscreen-doctor --dpms on

Wasn't that. I want to keep the screen on. No sleep, no lockscreen, no blackscreen, etc.
