Feature Request: Lock screen option

[btegs]

If I open up the Launcher and type any of these, they will work:

• Log Out
• Power Off/Shutdown
• Restart
• Suspend

But if I type Lock, I do not see the option to Lock the screen. Is this something planned or easy to implement? Just a little quality of life thingie :-)

I've created a PR #166 that will need to be reviewed and tested. In the meantime you can lock the screen with Super + Esc.

You can also make your own script for the time being with the following commands.

• touch ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/scripts/session/lock-screen.sh

• gedit ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/scripts/session/lock-screen.sh

• In the file that opens paste the following:

#!/usr/bin/sh
#
# name: Lock
# icon: locked
# description: Lock the system
# keywords: lock

set -eu

loginctl lock-session

• Save the file

• sudo chmod a+x ~/.local/share/pop-launcher/scripts/session/lock-screen.sh

Super + Esc is much faster, but I guess having it show up in the launcher is fine too.

Closing since https://github.com/pop-os/launcher/pull/166 was merged. It should be released some time this week.
