What is the "sleep button"?
I built my own computer and use a Kinesis keyboard and a HAF case. The case only has a restart and a power button that I can see, and there's nothing like a sleep button on my keyboard. I sort of like the idea of the computer going to sleep to save energy, but the only way I seem to be able to wake it up is to tap the power button very briefly, taking great care not to hold it longer than a fraction of a second. This doesn't seem very practical, but I can't find any information on exactly what signal the sleep key sends, or if there's a way to mimic it with a programmable keyboard or with a key combination. All of the stuff on the internet seems to assume that people have computers or keyboards with sleep keys on them, even though I've never actually seen a computer that has something like this.
Should I just deactivate this sleep feature?
