Heyho David, we already discussed this. There are two settings, one for the "normal" people and one for the paranoid ones. The setting you propose is mostly the same as the paranoid one, but slightly less paranoid. Why should paranoid people settle for something less paranoid? You are very welcome to push a patch to the wiki changing the paranoid setting to ignore modifier and function keys. On the other hand we can of course discuss changing the default of the `failonclear` setting to `0`. However I already pushed a little explanation to the slock home page (not yet online) which might help people to first read the config file before asking here on the ML. Since slock is a security oriented program I would stick to the `1` default paranoid setting. --Markus
