Hello, is it possible to hope that the keyboard auto-lock option will appear in the future?

Vote for "Auto-Lock" + 1

Some people like to put the radio in their bag, when someone calls, they just want to take it out and press PTT to reply, then put it back in the bag.

But sometimes for example the squelch is not appropriate, resulting in intermittent received voice, or overly sensitive to interference, you may need to unlock and adjust it, and you may forget to lock it after adjustment, and put it back in the bag directly. Buttons are likely to be pressed accidently while traveling, radio channels may be changed/switched to VFO mode/switched to digital mode etc.

Usually, many of the official radio firmwares on the market have a timeout automatic screen lock function. For those who are used to using this function, when using the OpenGD77, they need to manually lock this action every time, and it is easy to forget the operation. .

And I am such a person...

Could be useful, especially as we don't have any indication when radio is scanning, easy to stop scanning by mistake when radio is in your pocket etc.

I think you need to read the user manual again, as there is an indication whilst scanning.
Auto-locking the keyboard while scanning is a bit of a non sense; how long will it take to exit scanning ?.
