[SOLVED] put laptop to sleep on closing lid

[strange shell]

how do i put my laptop to sleep when the lid is closed. it works sometimes but sometimes it doesnt and the it dies quickly. im on wayland btw

[strange shell]

update: i noticed that it only doesnt go to sleep if i lock it with swaylock before closing the lid. otherwise, if i dont lock and close the lid, it automatically goes to sleep every time without any issue. what should i do? also is there a way to make swaylock automatically lock the screen whenever the system goes to sleep?

[quick knot]

yes, exec swayidle -w before-sleep 'swaylock' in your config, that should trigger on suspend.

im on hyprland and added exec-once = swayidle -w before-sleep 'swaylock' but it didnt lock

i just had to restart hyprland after adding that to the config
