Screen locker #123

Closed BuiHoangTu closed 5 days ago

BuiHoangTu commented 3 weeks ago

Most DMs have their own version of screen locker. I sometimes switch desktop environment for fun and using emptty means I can't simply lock my screen with the same shortcut (x11 vs wayland locker). Do you plan to add this feature.

I'm using emptty with a locker. Specifically using xss-lock to register xsecurelock as my locker. This allows me to just use the command loginctl lock-session to lock my session.

My understanding is xss-lock can be used in conjunction with other lockers, to the same effect.

I actually use i3lock but my friends told me they are not secure in wayland session. Do you know any solution for both environments ?

emptty is missing the GUI part, a screen locker would be for a standalone project. There are no plans to do it since there are better solutions already implemented.

Try swaylock for Wayland.
