Create a screen-locking keyboard shortcut

Yes, of course the dialog box comes up. That's exactly what I was saying. And it's exactly what this hint is not about. And just that I was saying.
Well, in the mean time I came up with another idea:
Bind
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/user.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend
with QuicKeys to a hotkey of your choice
or add the following line to your ~/.profile
alias lock='/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/user.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend'
so you can lock your screen from any terminal window with 'lock'.
