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.

I honestly just kind of flop my hand around on the keyboard

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Cursor-right.

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

[–] NeroC_Bass@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ordellrb@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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

Scroll Lock

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Power. I'm weird like that, I guess.

I plop my furry balls menacingly on the keyboard and inevitably hit at least half the keys

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

My PC dual functions as a server so it never sleeps

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

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

Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc

[–] MarauderIIC@dormi.zone 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 3 points 3 months 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.

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

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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