Feature Request: Prevent Screensaver, Suspend, or Sleep

Open sanchezelton opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

One feature I'd like to request is to add a new item to each drop down "keep active".

Basically, if you activate this hot corner:

  • the idle timer for screensaver will stop, effectively disabling the screensaver.
  • the idle timer sleep or suspend will stop, effectively disabling both sleep or suspend.

Once the pointer is moved off the hot corner, the screensaver that was disabled will have its idle timer reset, sleep or suspend timers will also reset, functioning normally.

I've been watching stuff before and had the screen go black because I didn't think I was "doing anything", so this would be a GREAT option to have for those situations.

This is actually the reason I stumbled across this software; I need to have the screen lock after a very short time of inactivity, and I sometimes have to be on calls that last a long time and don't require activity. Its annoying to have to keep moving the mouse to stop the screen locking, and its annoying to have to go to the control panel to disable screen lock for the duration of the call. I'm looking for a way to temporarily disable screen lock eg by moving the mouse pointer to a specific corner. I think that this is an extremely valid use case for this application and would be a great addition. I'm really sad that it doesn't do this already, and there doesn't seem to be any alternative that does this.
