Mash low in the corner.
Probably a combo of Ctrl-shift-alt-super-z-x-space
I know, much barbarian.

Ctrl to wake the screen, system set to never sleep. Stupid Plex running on Windows addiction.
If it's suspended I usually open my laptop. If its just locked/screen off I put in my password and press enter because GDM doesn't need to be first "woken up" before entering the password.
So it's "the first letter in my password" which is .....

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.
Mash the DEL key, because it skips the prompt to click OK to login, and takes me straight to password entry.
Numlock. Let's me know if the hardware is locked up, powered off, or just slow to wake.
I'm so surprised people have specific buttons? Is there a reason? I just mash my whole hand at the keyboard

Scroll Lock
Numpad Enter, its a large Key on the edge of the Keyboard i guess?
Esc also removes anything typed into swaylock so esc
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.
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.

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.
Cursor-right.
It's least likely to mess up your command line, won't trigger an action, and easy to find blind.
I use a macbook for work, so I lightly tap the power button and touchID unlocks it.
space, ctrl, or sometimes the entire numpad at once. it's just one big button :P
SPACE bar
I giggle the mouse.
Teehee
