Script now changes the screen timeout when the screen is locked and restores the values after unlocking from the config-file.
KDE X11 ScreenSaver SuspendScreen
KDE X11 event-script to have different screen-timeouts when session is locked vs unlocked
Table of contents
1. The Problem
By default KDE will lock the screen after the time specified in Workspace > Workspace Behaviour > Screen Locking > Lock screen automatically > After x minutes.
And the screen is turned off after the time specified in Hardware > Power Management > Energy Saving > Screen Energy Saving > Switch off after x min.
Unfortunately when the screen is locked, even when done manually using the Shortcut (by default CMD/WIN+L), the screen-timeout is still x min which i think is unnecessary (e.g. i went for lunch and lock my screen, knowing i wont be back soon).
This script aims to fix this.
2. The Fix
Adding a script to notifyrc as event makes it possible to change settings when screen-locking begins.
So after x seconds the screen will simply be forcefully turned off using xset.
3. How to install
Place the file event_screensaver to a bin-location, for a local user this is typically ~/.local/bin/ and make it executeable.
In Settings under Notifications > Applications > Configure > 'Screen Saver' > Configure Events... for event Screen locked, enable Run command and add your script-location for event_screensaver.
