Description

Wayland idle locking can respect browser requests that ask the session not to become idle.

It is useful for Sway users watching video, presenting, or using web apps that should keep the screen awake. Idle inhibition affects locking and power behavior, so users should confirm it does not weaken their expected screen-lock policy.
