Right, so, rewinding a second in the conversation.... Traditionally, it has been seen as bad practice to press keys which _do things_ in order to clear a screensaver. That's because there could be a waiting dialog box accepting input, and "enter" could be a destructive operation. Now, modern screensavers "eat" these keystrokes, but even so, a system delay could cause you to press it twice when you didn't mean to. So, we've been taught that best practice is to hit shift, control, or alt to wake up a sleeping computer. These keys are almost always completely harmless to press on their own. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
