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

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

Why would it ever be off, except for the first time..?

Mash low in the corner.

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

I know, much barbarian.

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

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.

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.

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Cursor-right.

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

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

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I don’t sleep my computer because I have more ram than is advisable to have if you are going to fully sleep the computer.

Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc

Scroll Lock

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.

[–] halfway_neko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

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

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

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Arrow up. Multiple times.
