    I think it should be able to be toggled on a per app basis, along with a global keyboard like X has (so I could (un)mute discord or whatever without alt tabbing over). Maybe similar to how Android does things where it asks the user for permission to do something, you could make the app request for permission and maybe some helper app that forces permissions for other apps.

      I can get behind that, that’d work great for me. / I saw some app that allows certain apps force preventing suspensions, but that feels like a hacky solution, and I’d still rather be able to lock the screen, so a sort of trust or exemption to the viewport rule would be great
