I've used programs like this in the past, and I ultimately ended up
training myself to use the lock keystroke anyway. At the time (~5 years
ago) their default response was slow enough that I wasn't comfortable with
the lag between my leaving and the lock happening. When I upped the
sensitivity to the point it was fast enough, I started getting false locks
if I turned in my chair to reach something on a bookshelf or stretch.
