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.

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

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

[–] Yeahboy92@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] hitagi@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago

Win/Super key

I find that pretty safe.

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

F3, what else?

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The first letter of my password.

[–] AlwaysTheir@lemmy.one 2 points 3 months ago

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

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

[–] Kage@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Arrow pressers unite. Down arrow forever

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Up arrow is the only logical choice.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I find your choice... Acceptable.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Am I the only one that just kind throws my hand on the keyboard and what happens happens?

[–] november@lemmy.vg 2 points 3 months ago

I just open it.

click the power button i guess, i forgot.

[–] 56_@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 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)

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 1 points 4 months ago

Spacebar sometimes but usually I just smack the keyboard randomly until it wakes up lol

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

My PC just never sleeps.

I just change the TV input to PC IN and it's already on.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 4 months ago

I make certain to always press a different key every time. I use a keyboard overlay to help keep track, by punching out the key that I just pressed. What happens when I get through them all? First, I cycle through in a unique ordering - by printing off a new overlay ofc - and then when I'm through with that, I know that it's time to get a new keyboard. Btw I'm just kidding, if you couldn't tell 🤣.
