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

Mash low in the corner.

Probably a combo of Ctrl-shift-alt-super-z-x-space

I know, much barbarian.

Haven't seen anyone else comment this, I mash all arrow keys

Originally I got into this habit thinking that arrow keys would do nothing, and in most interfaces they don't, but I have learned the hard way they certainly do stuff when watching YouTube.

However it's too late and too embedded in my brain to wake my PC by mashing arrow keys so that is my life

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

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.

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

Scroll Lock

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Cursor-right.

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

Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc

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.

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.

Win/Super key

I find that pretty safe.

SPACE bar

None! And the sucker still wakes up all the time.

I use a arrow key, usually the arrow to the right
