It would be nice if there was a button or some app that could temporarily disable the keyboard, so it could be cleaned without accidentally changing settings for a running app, writing your boss you are not coming to work on Monday, firing few nukes, or wiping your whole system.
there’s something like that in Bazzite! If you go to the menu -> system settings -> language -> keyboard, then physically unplug the keyboard, the keyboard should now be disabled!
I just unplug it for a few minutes or lock my system
I have the keyboard plugged into a monitor and accessing the USB hub is seriously complicated, so that’s not really an option for me.
But I could try locking the system. I just hope I won’t lock myself out for few hours, because I have pressed Enter multiple times while cleaning it.
You can use a pair of scissors to terminate the connection anywhere along the wire and it will achieve the same thing
Thanks, I’ll do this next time.
Create a new local user w/o permissions and switch to that login before cleaning it. That way you only lock a fake user lol.
Guessing unplugging from the monitor is difficult as well?
Why not just write a script that would brick your PC so there is no risk anything would go wrong cleaning, and then just reinstall your OS when you’re done?
Because then I have to set up my environment again
I figured there would be a simple setting for that in KDE Plasma, but looking it up, I am just getting results about disabling the virtual onscreen keyboard
I though so as well. However, I don’t even see anything similar to disabling (USB) devices like in Windows.
