Personally I press Ctrl
I press A. Keyboard wakes up the computer but mouse doesn’t, both USB and same brand.
Up arrow
ESC
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far. Always Escape!
The “any” key, of course.
This is what I came into the comments section for…
Ctrl to wake the screen, system set to never sleep. Stupid Plex running on Windows addiction.
Mouse click gang
Usually space
Same here. Whenever I need to wake up my PC I send it on a suborbital spaceflight. The forces of launch and reentry move the mouse a lot and it wakes up once I recover it from the ocean.
I mash space bar! At work I mash Ctrl alt delete
I always shutdown even for a short break.
I… Judge this
Someone with their fucking life together? On Lemmy‽
The judgment spreads
Me too :)
Judged.
When did the norm become leaving computers on? Is it me who’s out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong.
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.
If there is a pin set, decimal on the numpad, else Ctrl or ESC.
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.
Cursor-right.
It’s least likely to mess up your command line, won’t trigger an action, and easy to find blind.
A modifier key by itself, in case it’s just the screen that’s asleep and I’m inadvertently typing into a text field.
I push the power button on the tower.
Lawful Neutral, ctrl.
