Hey everyone. I have been searching for this one for awhile. We all know how cell phones have a key combination that lock and unlock their screen, rendering any keys that are pressed, useless to wake the screen or unlock the device.

Is there any way to apply this to OSX?

I hate when my display is sleeping intentionally, and a bump of the desk shifts the mouse waking the display.

I know I could be more careful to not wake it, but this would be cool. Imagine pressing Shift, Control and U (or any key combination) to unlock/wake the screen? Then that same combo or even a different one to lock/sleep it! That way, pressing anything else would leave it locked and sleeping!

I have a Cinema display, so a power button is severely missed :(

Any ideas? Thanks!
