Bug ID: 480997 Summary: Feature request: Create global shortcut to temporarily restrict user inputs (toddler proofing - kiosk) Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: input Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: funkybom...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** Based on the discussion at: https://discuss.kde.org/t/baby-proofing-the-desktop-control-of-inputs/9673 There are some scenarios where it is useful for a user to be able to temporarily restrict the inputs (mouse, keyboard, trackpad etc) while keeping the desktop unlocked (such as a kiosk usecase). I propose creating an option to give users the ability to create a global shortcut that disables the mouse and ignores all keystrokes (apart from the unlocking shortcut). Once the user gives the correct key combination then all the inputs get restored. A good key combination would be something that would not be easy to replicate by mashing on the keyboard. A good default could be Meta+Scroll Lock. The option should be exposed to the user somewhere in the settings and it should be possible for the user to reassign this functionality to a different shortcut. Any other system shortcuts (global, custom, etc) should probably be unavailable/inactive while this mode is active, in order to not interfere. *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
