I'm basically running swayidle timeout 10 "powerctl mem" while the screen is locked.

The first time the system reaches 10s idle, swayidle triggers, runs powerctl mem and puts it to sleep. I then press Return to wake the system up. swayidle doesn't trigger ever again.

I think that the keypress is "swallowed" by the system when asleep, so sway doesn't really know that any keypress happened. I wonder if maybe sway itself should reset the idle timer when woken up from sleep...? I don't think it even knows that this happened TBH.

The end result is that swayidle only triggers the first time. To be sincere, I'm not sure if this is a bug of a case of me using it wrong.

I think what I need to do is somehow tell sway to "reset" it's idle timer when the system wakes up from sleep -- which would eventually make swayidle trigger as expected in this case.

I don't think sway has any such mechanism.

I'm having this issue with wake-on-lan. resume will not fire unless triggered by user input it seems.

That concept doesn't really exist. It's not part of sway it's part of the wayland idle notification protocol.

I just released sleepwatcher-rs(originally intended to call this swayidle-rs) which works around that problem by allowing for more logic in the configuration

Add an option -r for resetting timeouts on wake-up

This is useful for re-suspending the system when there is no activity after
waking up. Fixes swaywm#144.
