Yeah, I do remember having this discussion. It was a suitable time to bring it up again since the thread was asking directly about the issue I was trying to address with my old (terrible, not-thought-through) patch. I will consider putting my (new) patch which ignores special keys on the wiki. > On the other hand we can of course discuss changing the default of the > `failonclear` setting to `0`.

I saw this change you made on the wiki ML and it looks good. I too hope this will reduce the frequency of this question being asked. > Since slock is a security oriented program I would stick to the `1` default > paranoid setting I cannot disagree, I much prefer the paranoid behaviour over the normal.
