…racter Hyprland can enable DPMS on the same keypress that Qt still delivers to the password field. When the lock has blanked the displays, intercept that key before TextInput inserts it, wake the screen, and ignore the character.

Treat the wake key like Escape: drop the buffered password and swallow the key so it is not inserted. After idle blank, the user cannot reasonably know what was already typed. Amp-Thread-ID: https://ampcode.com/threads/T-01a0a1f2-cda2-7477-9564-53cfcd45dbb7 Co-authored-by: Amp <amp@ampcode.com>

Problem
Waking a blanked lock screen with a keypress also inserts that character into the password field, so you have to delete it before typing the password.
Hyprland can enable DPMS on the same key that Qt still delivers to the focused
TextInput. After idle blank, any half-typed password is also guesswork.Change
The lock already tracks
displaysBlank. When that is true, the password field now treats the wake key like Escape: intercept it withKeys.BeforeItem, request a wake, clear the buffered password, and accept the event so it is not typed.Verified locally on Omarchy 4.0.3: lock, wait for the panel to blank, press Space — the screen wakes, the field is empty, and no password dot appears.
