hyprwm
Allow passing grace time using cmdline args
Description
We have the --immediate option to ignore any grace time set in the config.
What if we add a --grace option to override the grace time defined in the config?
Example:
hyprlock --grace 5
Will lock with grace period set to 5 seconds.
I can make an MR if desired
I have been thinking about this as well.
I would even be in favor of removing grace from the config entirely, because a lot of people copy configurations with general:grace set without knowing what it does. Although that would be a breaking change.
Feel free to send a PR.
And about --immediate: I would keep it, but now instead of influencing grace, it would be --no-fade-in + --immediate-render. That way it still expresses "I want to lock the screen ASAP".
If we don't want that, we probably should remove --intimidate, which would be another breaking change.
Having grace specified as an argument with the default 0 seems more intuitive to me than what we have now.
I will go ahead with just adding a --grace option to override the value in config for now. Then we can discuss other ideas like changing the behavior of --immediate and removing grace from config with the maintainer(s).
I think those will have their own PR(s)
