Controlling with CTRL

If your screensaver is on when you return to your desk, instead of moving the mouse or pressing enter,
try pressing the Ctrl key. Most likely it will send a signal to the computer stopping the screensaver process,
but because it’s often a ‘modifier’ key, no real input will be sent to your computer. This alleviates the
possibility that pressing the Enter key may just somehow send a message you weren’t ready to send yet via IM
(Instant Messenger) or accidentally save a document that is not quite ready. In any case, it won’t do any
harm to use it, and it can be a good habit to get into for those times when it really does matter.
