That sounds vaguely familiar. A lot of typists will do that, so not really a good choice. Another trigger was pressing the shift key several times to turn on an accessibility feature (I don't recall if this was on Linux). Again, not a great idea. A lot of people will tap on the shift key to wake up a sleeping monitor, in the belief that as pressing the shift key by itself won't do anything, it's safe to tap it when you can't see the screen display. Ordinarily, that would be true. Though, generally speaking, those accessibility features had to be turned on and in standby for them to respond to the trigger. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 16:02:34 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
