This means that while on a break, it is impossible for me to e.g. mute the volume if my phone rings or if I have an offensive song on when my boss walks in. Certain critical events should be allowed through workrave's block. This should probably be user-configurable, but it seems like a decent start would be to allow the following through: Volume control (including mute) Power off / Sleep / Hibernate Fast-forward / Rewind (useful if you still want to control your music while on break from coding) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/workrave/+bug/38910/comments/1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2006-08-28T17:05:51+00:00 Ken Collins wrote: A nice way to implement this would be to allow certain key combinations to pass through to the window manager. I have keys mapped in Gnome to pause my media player, so if I could get those keys to work, it would be more than adequate. I find that I end up postponing a lot of breaks just to pause my media player and restart the break.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, and I cannot put the computer to sleep during a workbreak. I once was about to leave the office, so I attempted to put the computer to sleep, but workrave activated right as I was doing that. Sleep failed, but the screensaver activated. Because of bug 763, I was unable to even quit workrave and had to just wait until the work break was over for me to be able to suspend the machine.

I suggest adding a tab in the preferences with a table to fill in, with some good defaults: | Name | Command | ------------------------------------------------ | Lock | gnome-screensaver-command --lock | | Mute | amixer sset Master toggle | | Suspend | echo -n mem > /sys/power/state | | Pause | audacious --pause | And then we'd get those buttons on the take-a-break dialog. That's probably a lot easier than trying to filter keystrokes.
