Dell brought back Fn+F4!!

[Thinkpad4by3]

For anyone who remembers Fn+F4 to go to sleep...well the Dell Latitude machines have it. Fn+Insert puts it to sleep, and it has the same little moon icon on it. I used to use it all the time. With the combination of redesigned ergonomics, much better displays, good build quality, and that....well I might have to take a serious look at the Dell Latitude line the next time I buy a machine.

I guess you didn't know that all recent Thinkpads have Fn+4 (not F4, but 4) as the sleep combination (other than the TP25, which uses the 'retro' Fn+F4 combo). Many people don't know that, and I wouldn't either, if I hadn't launched the keyboard assistant UI (or whatever it is called) on my X1 Carbon. They have a few such unmarked combos, but it seems like they still don't have one for hibernate (rarely used anymore, to be honest).

Holy crap that works!! Thank you for telling me this, I've been wanting this on my T450. You are the man !

Just tried this on my W530. nothing happened, but Fn+F4 does work.

One lives and learns.
