My PC is not a phone - how do I remove the swipey pre-log in screen from Gnome 3?

Just start typing your password and the screen will just go away. No need to press/swipe/whatever anything at all.

• As a workaround, you can press esc instead of dragging with the cursor.

• The mouse wheel might also work.

• And another extension that should do a similar thing.

I found this in an Arch Linux forum and it appears to work to remove the swipe screen (screen shield)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
