Bug ID: 514945
Summary: Add option to not register first key press on screen
locker
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.5
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Screen locking
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
This is a feature request to add a configuration option to reject keypresses on
screen locker if the password entry is not visible.
DETAILS:
The current behavior of the KDE screen locker is to accept input to the
password field on key presses if the display is awake regardless of whether or
not the field is visible. In my opinion this is bad for UX especially for some
users coming from Windows (me), where pressing the "space" key or some other
key on the screen locker will reveal the password field, but not input the
space character. This oftentimes leads to my first attempt at typing my
password being rejected.
I understand that plenty of longtime KDE/Linux users don't have this problem
and immediately start typing their password to log in. And I also know that
pressing some Ctrl or some other modifier key will revel the password field
without entering text. Force of habit is a powerful thing that leads me to
pressing space every single time. I'm not proposing nor do I want to break
other people's workflow, but it would be nice to at least have the option to
reject the first keypress that sets the password UI visible.
