Use AUX button for locking the screen

Please use the AUX button for locking the screen

As suggested somewhere in the mailing list, you can use the following to avoid searching in the setup menu until it's fixed in shr :

enlightenment_remote -binding-key-del ANY "Keycode-177" NONE 1 "simple_lock" ""
enlightenment_remote -binding-key-add ANY "Keycode-177" NONE 1 "simple_lock" ""

Has to be launched from the phone, not via ssh.

I do vote too for having this setting shipped by default, it's really useful imo.

[Detructor]

thanks for the code. But, just for my understatement: What are this two commands are doing? The first removes all bindings for the AUX key (keycode-177) in enlightment(?), but what does the 2nd do?

simple_lock is the "command" that locks the screen.

It works, even after reboot...but I'm a little bit confused.

[spaetz]

Yes, that key binding got lost as a default, nobody really knows why. We'll try to add it back (plus make it issue some command when pressing AUX long (see http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/291))

[Detructor]

yay would be cool (longpress and add it back).

Locking via AUX still does not work on my up-to-date testing installation. Should this bug be reopened?

[dos]

No. That's you who shouldn't use shr-testing. Use shr-unstable.

[galadh]

I know - actually I'm using SHR unstable most of the time. I'm not using testing because there's this bug which doesn't let me lock the screen ;-). Yet I'd like to use the NEXT release of testing - if there will ever be one. Therefore I'd like to reopen this bug so it will be fixed in the next testing release.
So why shouldn't this bug be reopened?
