An idle that ignores inhibit_idle and only cares about keyboard/mouse input

[Kommynct]

I want to make it so that my computer displays a note if i haven't been at it in a certain amount of time, but I want things that inhibit_idle in my sway config not to affect that, and only the keyboard/mouse to be relevant.

Is there a good way to do that? I don't see anything in the man pages that would help me.

No, swayidle only knows about idle when sway informs it that an idle timer expired, and those are affected by inhibition.

Swayidle cannot see system activity on its own.
