Watch For Lid Closed?

[bob.ziu...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I just discovered Hammerspoon and am already in love!  Thanks to the guick start guide and API docs, I'm well on my way to replacing ShiftIt and Caffeine.

Now I'm trying to solve something that has been driving me nuts -- locking my screen when I close the laptop lid.  I would very much like to bind hs.caffeinate.startScreensaver() to a lid closing event.  Is there any way to monitor for lid closing?

Thanks for the wonderful software!

Bob

Hi

At the moment we don't have an event for that and, unfortunately, as far as I can tell there is no system-level event generated when the lid is closed.

We do have an event for the machine going to sleep (typically what happens when you close the lid), but then you could just configure OSX directly to start the screensaver when it goes to sleep.

Cheers,

Chris
