Hi,

I've been an i3 user for a few months now, and I just began using
i3lock instead of slimlock[1].

There's just one thing that kind of bothers me, though: with slimlock
it's possible to use an option (called 'tty_lock') which disables
switching to another virtual terminal while the screen is locked (using
VT_LOCKSWITCH).

I think this is a nice "security feature", if you wish. So, I was
wondering: first if this would be desirable in i3lock, and in that case
if it could be possible to add a similar option. It doesn't seem to be
_that_ difficult to implement, but unfortunately I don't know C, so
submitting a patch is out of the question.

Thank you.
