Description : xautolock rewrite in Rust, with a few extra features
Because xautolock is annoying to work with.
xidlehook is a general-purpose replacement for xautolock. It executes
a command when the computer has been idle for a specified amount of
time.
Improvements over xautolock:
- Allows "cancellers" which can undo a timer action when new user
activity is detected.
- Unlimited amount of timers (provided necessary resources).
- Not specific to locking.
- Multiple instances can run at the same time.
- Optionally only run through chain once.
- Optionally prevent locking when an application is fullscreen.
- Optionally prevent locking when any application plays audio.
Missing features:
- Magic corners
- All the instance related stuff (you should use unix sockets with
--socket).
