Description

I don't like leaving keybase logged in so I'll use keybase logout in the cli when I lock my computer or walk away. However, with the keybase client I still have to use the cli if I want to logout. It would be useful if there was some built in functionality to logout from the client or be given the option to specify some logout functionality (e.g. logout button, hotkey creation, logout on OS logout/lock, etc) from the GUI.

Research direction

Review the client GUI alongside the existing keybase logout CLI behavior and the stated OS lock/logout scenarios. First determine which logout interaction is intended, then define completion around a decided GUI or system-triggered logout flow that no longer requires using the CLI.
