Since this was not better that without bluetooth-autoconnect, I stopped, disabled and uninstalled it. So I did systemctl suspend as user (THAT still worked), waited some seconds, pressed power to wake up system and moved/clicked the mouse: no connection. The system went to lock screen, did not suspend. Then I left root and pressed the power button. I did try bluetooth-autoconnect (AUR), enabled it as root with systemctl enable -now bluetooth-autoconnect. Bluez is 5.54 and was last updated in April, so that's not the cause.

What I would do instead of this is assign a keyboard shortcut such as command+control+option+L to run "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/nu/Contents/Resources/CGSession" -suspend and just press that key combo when I stood up, but that’s not the automated solution you were asking for.

The problem with Bluetooth solutions is that all of them I have used are incredibly unreliable. That being said, it would be less annoying that buying pizza for the entire office. However, what I actually use at my desk is a Qi-charger, so I don’t have to plug/unplug it ever, and I would find using a USB connection annoying. I would never leave my iPhone on my desk, so this would be a completely effective way for me to make sure my MacBook was locked when I left my desk. Keyboard Maestro can do this very easily… under certain circumstances.įor example, if I was in such an environment, I would use a macro like this:Īnd the “trigger” would be unplugging my iPhone from my MacBook… which obviously means that in order for this to work, you have to plug your iPhone into your MacBook when you are sitting at your desk.
