Can KScreenLocker and SDDM merged into one single program?
I meant that a standard of some sort is probably needed to handle both the desktop environment telling the display manager to lock the screen AND allowing said display manager to take over the screen and lock it. On Wayland at the moment I'm not aware of any screen locker that isn't part of the DE itself that works on GNOME or KDE (I only know of swaylock and waylock, and both require protocols that are only implemented by wlroots based compositors, at least according to Waylock's readme).

Yofi A Minimalistic Application Launcher For
So you want to pass argument(s) to the program, right? That's a little bit messy, because sometimes you want to launch an app that contains multiple words and another time an app with some arguments. Personally don't really like the implicit way of handling that (e.g. as it done in rofi), so I'd like to consider an explicit argument separation via special characters, take a look at this issue.
What are some alternatives?

physlock - Lightweight linux console locking tool
sway-launcher-desktop - TUI Application launcher with Desktop Entry support. Made for SwayWM, but runs anywhere

smithay - A smithy for rusty wayland compositors
tuigreet - Graphical console greeter for greetd
