Bug ID: 445100
Summary: Wake the screen when backspace is pressed
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Theme - Breeze
Assignee: visual-des...@kde.org
Reporter: johne...@waf.io
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Wake the screen and show the password prompt when the backspace key is pressed
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. lock the screen
2. press the backspace key
3. nothing appears (except confusion)
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen stays off and the password prompt does not appear
EXPECTED RESULT
The prompt for the entering the password should appear (it happens with the
escape, shift or control keys).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.22.5 (Kubuntu Impish)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I do not always lock my screen, and I usually have a terminal running. Typing
the password directly can accidentally enter it in unwanted apps, so I press
the backspace key instead (which works on many other systems and screen
lockers).
While the backspace is really the one that I miss, I believe that any other key
should also activate the screen locker.
