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.
