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
If it's suspended I usually open my laptop. If its just locked/screen off I put in my password and press enter because GDM doesn't need to be first "woken up" before entering the password.
So it's "the first letter in my password" which is .....
Mouse click gang
Backspace
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.
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.
Numpad Enter, its a large Key on the edge of the Keyboard i guess?
Mash the DEL key, because it skips the prompt to click OK to login, and takes me straight to password entry.
space, ctrl, or sometimes the entire numpad at once. it's just one big button :P
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.
Cursor-right.
It's least likely to mess up your command line, won't trigger an action, and easy to find blind.
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.
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
Scroll Lock
Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc
I mash the keyboard. It wakes.
I just open it.
I giggle the mouse.
Teehee
