Every computer needs a “cleaning keyboard” mode where the keys would be inactive while you wipe them down

Also called 'turn off' key ;)

I use a simple bash script. (alias cleanmode='~/.scripts/system/cleanmode.sh $@')

xinput disable xx
sleep $1
xinput enable xx

And then you can add a "clean mouse" mode too... 😂

go pitch bored elon

Maybe unplug it. Just an idea.

@stackodev too easy, has to be done by script

Only unlocking can be a bit weird. It takes a few seconds before the keyboard realizes it's unlocked

Wow, I found it

My keyboard has that. With fn+f11 or sth like that it disables all keys. Except fn+f11 obviously.

Script is too easy.
Just write a Smartphone app to make that happen. It's really straightforward and not at all overcomplicated. I guarantee it 😉

YES. Even if the computer is off, the power button can accidentally get pressed.

Unplugging is too easy ? Then simply:
1. Buy a bunch of microcontrolers and a bluetooth receiver (or an arduino)
2. Program them to pair up with your phone
3. Make an android app which sends a signal which turns keyboard on or off :D

Here is a tutorial video for something even more "necessary". For reference of course :D

Use the cat cmd?

There's a JS framework for that

Laptop or desktop?
I just pull the cord on my desktop

My laptop will power on from any key press. So this is a great idea
