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

Getting ready for the downvotes… I put my finger on the touch-id sensor of the wireless keyboard.

On my Linux laptops, I usually swipe on the trackpad or track point. If that doesn’t do anything, one of the ctrl keys.

Power. I'm weird like that, I guess.

My PC dual functions as a server so it never sleeps

Cursor-right.

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

Mouse click gang

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.

Scroll Lock

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

Wait, there are people that don't press Ctrl?

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.

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

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

Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc

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.

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.

Space. On my mechanical keyboard it makes a nice thunk. You really know you've pressed it.

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

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

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

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