In macOS I’ve pretty brief occasions for auto-screen-lock (2-min on battery, 5-min on energy), with speedy password requirement after all, for safety. I normally lock manually, however these are there as a backup.
Nevertheless, as a result of the lock is immediate, it means there are events when it locks once I don’t need it to. For instance I am studying code and pondering, or I ended to look in a e book then wanting again to the display.
I might like a warning earlier than the display locks, for instance fade right down to 50% then wait 5s earlier than really locking. I feel it could already do that when on single-screen (laptop-only), but it surely does not occur when utilizing exterior displays.
If I had such a function:
- My deep thought would by no means be interrupted by having to unlock.
- I may set the auto-lock occasions each right down to 1 minute (solely cause I select 2+5 is as a result of it is a compromise to minimise undesirable locking, but it surely nonetheless typically occurs).
If anybody is aware of of a technique to get such a warning/indication earlier than screen-lock, please let me know.
