Ask Lemmy

I don't. I move the mouse.

I was very very very drunk.

My PC just never sleeps.

I just change the TV input to PC IN and it's already on.

I bang my head of the keyboard so it's random.

probably J, since thats where my right hand rests.

The only correct answer is num lock. Caps lock is sort of correct, but it's a stupid key on anything that's not a typewriter so I usually disable it so the only correct answer is num lock. No exceptions.

If you mean actual sleep, as in S3 sleep, that would be the power button as I disable waking from sleep from anything else as I don't like the PC waking up from accidental keyboard key presses or mouse movements.

If you mean when the monitor goes to sleep, it's the shift key that I mash. Yes, that means on Windows I always have to disable that stupid shortcut to enable StickyKeys.

My YubiKey.

Home laptop, power button. Work computer, CTRL-ALT twice brings the login screen.

Any key at the corner. Usually arrow right. It doesn't mess up my password during the time it is waking up where I'm unsure if it is missing one or two characters. Sometimes also [ or control or fn or even backspace depending which keyboard I'm using.

Right. Mouse. Button.

I will not be taking any questions.

Alt

I've always used Ctrl for that. I had my computer for 2 years before I discovered that Ctrl is the "wake from sleep" key, and no other keys would work anyway. (it's a thinkpad)

Either ctrl or any of the arrow keys

Spacebar.

Fn or moving the mouse.

Mouse wiggles

Enter key or space bar

Shift, Escape and mouse wiggle, in that order.

The “touch-id” key that also functions as the power-button.

Spacebar sometimes but usually I just smack the keyboard randomly until it wakes up lol

First thing I do on any computer that I'm using (work, home) is turning sleep and suspend off. When it's a laptop I disable that closing the lid suspends the laptop. I hate it when I'm moving to a meeting room the thing shuts off. It spins up quickly, but network or whatever is gone, plus gotta unlock it again. Nay.

On other devices, it's moving the mouse first to see if it's not the monitor that went in standby, if that doesn't work I go ham on the spacebar. Finally, the power button if space does nothing, to admit defeat.

I make certain to always press a different key every time. I use a keyboard overlay to help keep track, by punching out the key that I just pressed. What happens when I get through them all? First, I cycle through in a unique ordering - by printing off a new overlay ofc - and then when I'm through with that, I know that it's time to get a new keyboard. Btw I'm just kidding, if you couldn't tell 🤣.
