- Because ctrl+shift+power/eject can become halt or reboot if user is not careful
- Because Hot Corners are not loved by everyone (and they only start screensaver)
This app uses Cocoapods. Please first install it (usually with sudo gem install cocoapods).
Then follow this:
git clone https://github.com/ftiff/MenuLock.gitcd MenuLockpod installopen MenuLock.xcworkspace/
Then go to Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme… and make sure Run > Executable is set to "MenuLock.app".
- Modify APP_VERSION in Build Settings (see https://ftiff.wordpress.com/2016/04/01/xcode-automatically-sign-and-build-package/)
- In Terminal.app, navigate to the MenuLock directory
xcodebuild -workspace MenuLock.xcworkspace -scheme MenuLock install
sudo installer -target / -pkg /tmp/MenuLock-1.1.pkgsudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/io.fti.MenuLock.plist

These are defined in /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Headers/Events.h. Be careful these work for US Keyboards. I'd love to learn a better way to do this.
