I know there is the option `-corners` that prevents xautolock from locking if the mouse cursor is in that corner, but that would need me to remind this every time I'm in fullscreen. It would be suitable for me if there is any other program with similar functionality as xautolock offers, and does not lock when in fullscreen mode or watching fullscreen videos.Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:57:42 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5513/prevent-xautolock-from-locking-while-being-in-fullscreen/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5513/prevent-xautolock-from-locking-while-being-in-fullscreen/?answer=5514#post-id-5514An easy hack would be to automatically move the mouse pointer to the corner when watching a video; > xdotool mousemove 0 0Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:49:45 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5513/prevent-xautolock-from-locking-while-being-in-fullscreen/?answer=5514#post-id-5514https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5513/prevent-xautolock-from-locking-while-being-in-fullscreen/?comment=5521#comment-5521Sounds good. Already found a way to do this on pressing $mod+f for fullscreen: (question: 2-actions-one-binding) Also found a bash script that I could adopt to use xdotool whenever a player or youtube is in fullscreen. Will post an answer when I have it running. https://github.com/iye/lightsOnMon, 23 Feb 2015 10:55:21 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5513/prevent-xautolock-from-locking-while-being-in-fullscreen/?comment=5521#comment-5521
