Alternative locking method

[Brandon Yap]

Right now when I use Alfred's built in locking method to lock my mac, wifi drops and reconnects when I log back in.

Would it be possible to have Alfred use the Keychain method of locking? (keychain in the menubar, then lock screen). It's clean and fast.

Thanks

@Brandon Yap As far as I've looked, Apple don't give API (or shell) access to this method of locking, so it won't be included in Alfred by default. The way I lock my computer is to set the screensaver to require password on return, then use the sleepdisplays or screensaver commands in Alfred. You could even change the keyword of one of these to 'lock' in Alfred's System Command prefs.

 

Cheers,
