Bug Description

Considering that apps do not have the possibility to gain permission to keep the screen on (e.g. Navigation app), it would be usefull to have an indicator entry which provides a fast ways to keep the screen on. So in fact it just sets the screen lock time to never temporarily.

Situations when I would use such switch: when reading something long in a browser or an ebook reader, having a photo opened as a reference when I'm drawing.
Currently I use Active Screen app which disables screen saver for it but simple switch would be better.

I think this is a good idea.

But it is also necessary a reminder (i.e. by a sound or/and an icon) that you have this feature activated.

perhaps a top bar color change as well, much like n active call - you could see your screen is set to active I use active screen as well, and think this is very useful as a feature.
