F3, what else?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Control. I'm mildly paranoid any other key will actually go through and type/do something.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

I slap the spacebar, often multiple times if I'm impatient

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

Right arrow. Wake on mouse disabled because cats. Right arrow is on the bottom right corner and convenient to hit when pulling the keyboard tray out.

[–] november@lemmy.vg 2 points 11 months ago

I just open it.

[–] Yeahboy92@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

If there is a pin set, decimal on the numpad, else Ctrl or ESC.

Arrow up. Multiple times.

[–] Psymonkee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I thump my water bottle down on the desk just hard enough to make my mouse trigger and wake up the PC. By the time I'm sat comfortably it's awaiting a password :]

[–] card797@champserver.net 2 points 11 months ago

I mash the keyboard. It wakes.

[–] 56_@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

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)

[–] wintermute@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

Shift, Escape and mouse wiggle, in that order.

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

I don't. I move the mouse.

I was very very very drunk.

[–] Shah_of_Iran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Ctrl+Alt+delete for my work computer so I can go straight to password input.
Space for my home computer.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Kage@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Arrow pressers unite. Down arrow forever

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Up arrow is the only logical choice.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I find your choice... Acceptable.

[–] Spider89@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago
[–] AlwaysTheir@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

Esc, t, or I move the mouse. Depends on my goal when I'm waking it up.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I use numlok mostly. I guess I’m weird!

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Mouse wiggles
