Package: i3lock Version: 2.10-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Michael,
from the upstream changelog of i3lock 2.10: • Immediately hide the unlock indicator after ESC / C-u (Thanks Orestis) Please revert that (IMHO annoying mis-) feature for at least C-u and the not documented change for Backspace. At least for me the red clearing unlock indicator served for several purpose for me (and probably also for other users): * To disable the screen blanking without entering any part of a password and still being able to immediately get feedback if the system is still responding to key presses. * To have some indicator how many Backspace presses have been received by e.g. an heavily loaded system. I do see a need for a key to quickly hide the unlock indicator, but IMHO the only sense-making (and natural) key for that is the Escape key. So please revert the above mentioned behaviour for C-u and Backspace, but keep it for Esc. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-rc7-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages i3lock depends on: ii libc6 2.25-2 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-2 ii libev4 1:4.22-1+b1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libxcb-image0 0.4.0-1+b2 ii libxcb-randr0 1.12-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.12-1 ii libxcb-util0 0.3.8-3+b2 ii libxcb-xinerama0 1.12-1 ii libxcb-xkb1 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii libxkbcommon-x11-0 0.7.1-2 ii libxkbcommon0 0.7.1-2 i3lock recommends no packages. i3lock suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
