Ctrl to wake the screen, system set to never sleep. Stupid Plex running on Windows addiction.

Backspace

My desktop pc doesn't wake up from keyboard inputs, so the power button. On my laptop I just open the lid.

It doesn't? It should, you might want to check your settings

Sleep? I run Linux. It's on. Or it's off. So power? I guess?

Mash the DEL key, because it skips the prompt to click OK to login, and takes me straight to password entry.

Scroll Lock

Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc

Cursor-right.

It's least likely to mess up your command line, won't trigger an action, and easy to find blind.

Numlock. Let's me know if the hardware is locked up, powered off, or just slow to wake.

My machine is dual boot and boots so fast I don't sleep it. If booting to linux, after login it resumes my previous session exactly as it was anyway. No point sleeping it to me.

Control, but I have Caps Lock and my right control key swapped, so physically the Caps Lock key.

It also doesn't really "wake" my computer. When I lock my desktop, I have the operation also set up to enable DPMS with a short timeout, so my monitor also powers down if I'm not typing for a few seconds. When I come back, I just smack Control to make the monitor power on and make my screen locker show an indication that it's active. Unlocking the screen locker disables DPMS, so once the system's unlocked, I don't need to tap anything to wake the monitor.

Waking up is hardware encoded to the mouse button, keys are secondary.... It's mentioned on that 'daves garrage' YouTube channel with the guy who was a dev for windows 95.

Numpad Enter, its a large Key on the edge of the Keyboard i guess?

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I'm so surprised people have specific buttons? Is there a reason? I just mash my whole hand at the keyboard

space, ctrl, or sometimes the entire numpad at once. it's just one big button :P

[-] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 3 points 10 months ago

Control and alt .Bonus: To move to the bottom of a terminal, I have it set to scroll to bottom on input and hit backspace.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I use a macbook for work, so I lightly tap the power button and touchID unlocks it.

[-] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I also use Ctrl, or I waggle my mouse to wake both it and my PC (it's wireless).

[-] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Am I the only one that just kind throws my hand on the keyboard and what happens happens?

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

F3, what else?
