Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

Screensaver only dismisses on keyboard input, not mouse movementrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 12:03 UTC via poll

What happened

The screensaver (omarchy-screensaver) only exits on keyboard input. Moving the mouse while the screensaver is showing does not dismiss it.

What was expected

Per the script's own comment (omarchy-screensaver:6: # Exit the screensaver on signals and input from keyboard and mouse), mouse input should also dismiss it.

Root cause

In /usr/share/omarchy/bin/omarchy-screensaver, the dismiss loop is:

trap exit_screensaver SIGINT SIGTERM SIGHUP SIGQUIT

...
while pgrep -t "${tty#/dev/}" -x ttfx >/dev/null; do
  if read -n1 -t 1 || ! screensaver_in_focus; then
    exit_screensaver
  fi
done
  • The trap only handles process signals, not input events.
  • read -n1 reads from the terminal's stdin, which only ever receives keyboard input, never pointer motion/click.
  • The only other exit path is ! screensaver_in_focus, i.e. losing window focus — which normal mouse movement over the screensaver window does not do.

So despite the comment, there is no code path that treats mouse activity as a dismissal trigger.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Let the machine sit idle until the Omarchy screensaver (org.omarchy.screensaver) appears.
  2. Move the mouse (no click, no keypress).
  3. Screensaver stays up. Only a keypress dismisses it.
