    Space bar is “accept” in many interfaces. If the screen was off but not locked, and a dialog box was focused, hitting space will submit that in some OS.

    Control, on the other hand, won’t.

      I always wake up with space and I have had that problem once. That was on a PC that was installing using PXE.

      Otherwise my PC is pretty much always locked if the screen has gone to sleep.

        I remember one time when I was a youth trying to fix my dad’s computer, he tried to wake it with the space bar. The screen came on and that space bar cancelled some long running operation. Woops.
