10.6: Lock the screen via a keyboard shortcut
Authored by: pawnoir on Sep 22, '09 11:09:02PM
To lock my screen, 2 possibilities :
1.
- I use a script made in Automator, you can download it here : http://chriscook.me/featured-articles/new-mac-os-x-application-lock-desktop/
(its icon will appear on your desktop)
- Then, I have associated a keystroke to open this icon via AliasKeys, you can download it here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/aliaskeys.html
--> This will immediatly launch the screen login session (it does not stop your app. running)
2.
- System pref., security, password when screen saver, and I activate the screen saver with a hot corner
--> This will immediatly launch the screen saver with my favorite pictures (in case I'd like to avoid the "rigid" blue screen session)
Hope it'll help, CU+
