Think I'm seeing and reading this for the second time (or am I confusing this with that bug report about a toddler breaking the gnome login screen..?). But anyway, this bug report is great.

  I misremembered some detail, it was this one about the cinnamon desktop and its cinnamon-screensaver: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354 https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354 Regarding the "screensaver as lock screen", there is also this interesting writeup by jwz: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition/ https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition/ (open in new tab ^^) But yeah, it wasn't the Gnome login screen. While searching I also found some issues with cat in the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1538615 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1463112 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1463112

Multiple times, my cat has managed hit a key combination on my desktop that swaps WASD and the arrow keys, which I never knew existed before the first time she did it. I think it's something like Fn+w, but every time it's happened I always forget exactly what it is, and it takes a bit of effort to search for it because I need to actually use the arrow keys to type those letters, which are a pretty important part of the query...
