Feature summary
Currently applications like Spotify can prevent idle detection through
zwp_idle_inhibit_manager_v1.
Currently, applications can prevent idle detection through zwp_idle_inhibit_manager_v1. This behavior is useful for cases like fullscreen video playback, but it can be undesirable for applications that only play audio (for example Spotify), because the lock screen will never activate while music is playing.
Possible solution:
- add an option to ignore media-related idle inhibitors;
- distinguish fullscreen video from audio playback;
- provide a setting for lock screen behavior.
Motivation / use case
For security, users may want the lock screen to activate after inactivity
even when music is playing.
Proposed solution
Add a configurable list of applications that should be ignored when handling idle inhibitors for automatic lock screen.
