application-mapper: should lock screen count as unfocusing

[derelbenkoenig]

If a window is currently focused, for which keyd-application-mapper has set some binds, and then my screen locks (due to idle, or me manually locking it), then the lock screen (where I have to type my password!) still has the modified bindings of that focused window. Is there a way to make the mapper detect screen lock and interpret that as an unfocusing of the window? Fortunately my application-specific bindings don't take away any characters I need to type my password, but it's very possible that it could have

I've done a bit of research, and as far as I can tell, there is no way to detect the lock screen on wayland. Your best bet is probably to bind whatever your lock key is to keyd reset; swaylock.

If someone is aware of a method to perform lock screen detection, please correct me.

Thanks for checking. I can probably incorporate that into the swayidle command for the case where the window locks automatically due to idle time, and if I'm gonna manually lock it just remember to focus a different window first.
