I'm going through a bout of RSI problems with my wrists, so klst night I refreshed an old typing watcher program I wrote a couple decades ago (there's a comment about Python 1.4 in the code!):
https://github.com/smontanaro/python-bits/blob/master/watch.py It's far from perfect and I'm sure miles behind more modern stuff, but it does the trick for me. I noticed a feww minutes ago that when I opened my laptop it immediately locked the screen. It would be nice to get notified of open/close events on the laptop. Any idea if there is a signal I can catch (Ubuntu 17.10) or a Tk event I can respond to? Thx, Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
