I think it can only be started from a VT. But what's the problem? I have an
xsession going, plus tmux, plus perhaps something else going in one or more
VT
All I have to do is call vlock -a from a virtual terminal.
Now to access any terminal VT or xsession - you have to unlock this VT
first.
But I

Does vlock work from an XWindow session? Or would I have to use it on
top of whatever I do to lock the XWindow session - xscreensaver/i3lock
etc?
(I browsed to the vlock README page on github but it doesn't answer this
question.)

Please
I've been using
vlock -a
for years ... it works.

You could also leave DontVTSwitch on all the time and set a keyboard
shortcut to run chvt (man 1 chvt) with appropriate permissions and
parameters instead. Keyboard shortcuts shouldn't get processed if the
screen is locked.

I tried to google if it is possible to change xorg serverflags in runtime,
but was unable to find anything. I think that would be a cleaner solution
(changing the DontVTSwitch option before locking and then restoring later).

Thanks for the idea! It won't work as is for me because I already use
some non-default xkb options. But it is closer than anything that has

su is mature, well understood and the standard way of doing things. If you
had run an extra term in your X session that had been su'd to root, you
wouldn't be exposing a root shell at the console. Perhaps
A wrapper script like this seems to do the trick.
#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap -option srvrkeys:none
i3lock -c 003355 -n
setxkbmap -option ''

I guess you are using xorg. man xorg says that there is an option in
serverflags section which disables this functionality.
Option "DontVTSwitch" "boolean"
So you could add a section into xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/
