wishlist: Allow exiting password entry using keyboard

[bwildenhain]

When I accidentally choose the wrong user I would like to have the possibility to cancel the authentication using keyboard (e.g. using the Escape key) and select another user.

@bwildenhain this should already work - or at least it does for me when I use phrog on my laptop. Can you give me a bit more info about your setup, so we can figure out why this isn't working?

Sorry, disregard that last comment. I see it isn't working. Now I remember why, too 😅

Currently, phrog has no control over the idle behaviour of the lockscreen. I kept getting frustrated by the carousel flicking back to the user selection on my laptop (I had a long-standing issue on my Framework laptop, where the fingerprint sensor would take a long time to become active, and by the time it did Phosh had already decided it's time to idle back to the user selection screen), so I employed an ugly hack to mitigate this.

I think that fixing this "properly" is going to require upstream changes in libphosh of some sort.

In the meantime, I could make the current behaviour configurable so that escape + idle take you back to the user selection. If I hear back from you (or others) that this would be a useful and used change, I'll take a look.
