Sometimes I have things like recipes or dashboards open on my laptop whilst I do other things in the background.
It can be annoying having to bump the mouse to avoid the screen locking, and manually changing the settings through the UI has the risk I forget to change them back.
This is a tiny utility that uses `gsettings` to disable the gnome screen lock and idle timeout when it starts, and restores them when it exits.
It's written as a NodeJS / npm package for ease of distribution - you can try it out using `npx gnome-screen-lock`
The code is very straight forward and I'd encourage you to read it prior to trying.
Probably should be able to do the same with just:
or the more easier wayshttps://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extension-caffeine https://github.com/coadmunkee/gnome-shell-extension-espresso
Or via api, which everything leads to

Noting other apps generally will inhibit via stuff sent through X/Wayland afaik, so this doesn't cover all methods
