E.g. https://gist.github.com/LuisAGC/843a2a45617d7ad05687c2f8a15c66ac https://gist.github.com/LuisAGC/843a2a45617d7ad05687c2f8a15c... or https://github.com/TheBear1616/CapsLock-PreventSleep-Script/blob/master/CapsLockPreventSleepScript.ps1 https://github.com/TheBear1616/CapsLock-PreventSleep-Script/... Scroll lock and F13 are commonly used
