Companion cron job for https://gist.github.com/auroracramer/64fa76aa82da717a520a28ec25304a66 to re-enable keyboard when screen is locked so you don't have to restart your computer

Utility for toggling keyboard. Created so I can write on my laptop keyboard when it's open. I'm using it as a GNOME launcher application for Ubuntu 18.04 that can be access with the mouse. UPDATE: Doesn't work on Ubuntu 22.04 since it uses the Wayland window manager :(
#!/usr/bin/env bash
KEYBOARD_INFO=$(xinput list | sed -e 's/ */ /g' | grep "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
EXTRAKEY_INFO=$(xinput list | sed -e 's/ */ /g' | grep "ThinkPad Extra Buttons")
KEYBOARD_ID=$(echo $KEYBOARD_INFO | grep -o -P 'id=\K\d*')
EXTRAKEY_ID=$(echo $EXTRAKEY_INFO | grep -o -P 'id=\K\d*')
MASTER_ID=$(xinput list | sed -e 's/ */ /g' | grep -o -P 'slave keyboard \(\K\d*' | head -n 1)
IS_ATTACHED=$([ -z "$(echo $KEYBOARD_INFO | grep -o -P 'floating slave')" ])
if [ -z "$(echo $KEYBOARD_INFO | grep -o -P 'floating slave')" ]; then
xinput float $KEYBOARD_ID

Simple crontab script for making sure you're using your headphones and listening to music while working. Developed for Ubuntu 18.04 and 22.04, but should work for any Linux distro that uses GNOME
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Add to crontab via:
# (crontab -u $USER -l; echo "*/1 * * * 1-5 $HOME/.local/bin/check-sound-playing" ) | crontab -u $USER -
# Set up env vars so that gnome-screensaver-command works with cron. If these
# are not set, the scree
