Personally I press Ctrl
I have a BLE keyboard and a BLE trackball, so they lose connection when PC is sleeping. To wake it up I press the power button
I just drop my schweaty balls on the keyboard
I use numlok mostly. I guess I’m weird!
The first letter of my password.
Home laptop, power button. Work computer, CTRL-ALT twice brings the login screen.
I stomp on my usb foot pedal
Uuu, nice. Always wanted one of those. What do you use yours for?
I use mine for Star Power in Clone Hero (Guitar Hero-ish game)
Way back in the day I always wanted one to use as my push to talk key for Ventrilo… But these days with noise reduction algorithms, boom mics with cardioid sensitivity spaces, and adjustable activation threshold, I just leave my mic on auto activate.
I should probably find something else to use it for…
To wake the computer up from sleep.
SPACE bar
I like ctrl as well.
Less alarming and obtrusive. To the computer? For me?
I prefer left Ctrl, but will press the right ctrl if I’m feeling wild that day.
This is a great question.
I love them question.
I’m a left CTRL grill. It doesn’t press things that might input text or navigate. It’s a humble modification-key.
Ctrl+Alt+delete for my work computer so I can go straight to password input.
Space for my home computer.Wait, there are people that don’t press Ctrl?
You mean num lock, right? Ctrl actually does something.
What does ctrl do on its own?
I move the mouse.
Team mouse wiggle!
My computer always drops the first character or two when waking, making me screw up my password. So I wiggle the mouse and by the time my hand is back on the keyboard I can type my password with confidence.
At work I just start typing the password. Sometimes I am faster than the screen coming back to life
Right. Mouse. Button.
I will not be taking any questions.
Getting ready for the downvotes… I put my finger on the touch-id sensor of the wireless keyboard.
On my Linux laptops, I usually swipe on the trackpad or track point. If that doesn’t do anything, one of the ctrl keys.
Spacebar
Up arrow
