Well, as noted though, this behavior is determined by the OS; it's not a hard-coded part of the system or anything. Windows has a control-panel option for what Windows should do when the power button is pressed, and for whatever reason, it defaults to "Shutdown". This is not the behavior on macOS, and as such accidental presses are not a problem on macOS, nor would it on Windows if the user desired.
- davrosthedalek 9y agoAccidental power button are still a problem, because obviously the correct key wasn't hit. It's mitigated, but a mitigated problem is still a problem. But with proper keyboard design, accidental presses wouldn't be a problem.
- aluhut 9y agoThe topic is not "macOS is ruining my life" but "The new MacBook keyboard is ruining my life". Besides that, I would consider going on standby accidentally a problem independent of the OS (hitting the power button for a shot time usually gets you in standby also).
