Pass-through certain key bindings or key presses

[dumblob]

Hi, I wonder whether there are any plans to support pass-through of whitelisted key bindings or key/mouse presses?

The primary use case are shortcuts for media volume control, audio player control, screen brightness control, keyboard layout switching, touchpad<->mouse switching, etc.

E.g. I use xbindkeys to do lots of stuff most of which I do not want to have accessible from the lock screen but some things are more than useful and not harmful - see examples listed above.

Thoughts?

I have not thought about that, but indeed it might be a good idea. Unfortunately, right now I'm not using alock on a daily basis, and I'm focused on other project. Anyway, PR with such feature is always welcome :)

Very well - I will leave this open to remind me I should take a look in my spare time (which do not have currently but one never knows how it will look like in a year or two).

Maybe there is even some locking standard from XDG specifying how to automatically whitelist stuff. IDK
