Sorry, I mean that I am looking for this functionality. The car navigation system navit does not disable device locking and dimming. Further more, I sometimes just do not want to bother with unlocking when taking more time than the lock timeout for the next keypress.

Powerlaunch is the only package I know with this function. It comes with the command line tool, powerline. You can run:

$ while powerline DisplayOn; do sleep 30 ; done

for delayed tk-locking and dimming. Powerlaunch is buggy on my device and inhibits auto device locking. So I do not know wheather 'powerline displayon' delays device locking.

I think that was before ASUI supported devlock so I've added this back on the todo page since I can reuse the keypad code. It will also allow the timeout to be changed. I'll try to get it done soon, but need to finish some other things first.
Perhaps I am a little bit pedantic, but I prefere to change the system settings myself and not to give passwords to user space software. This way I'd also prefere asui using the system interface for unlocking the device not asui reading the unlock code itself.

I expect the OS to provide a technique to the user for interruption of devlocking and dimming. Blanking pause sound good to me.
