Completely don't understand this post. I'm typing from a MacBook Pro (15" retina, bought it a month ago) and can't replicate the OP's experience. A light jab of the power button, like I would hit the delete key, doesn't do anything. Only a firm, solid press does -- and even then, any other key press brings it right back up from sleep in an instant.
- kalleboo 13y agoOn my 2012 rMBP on Mavericks, even a fast light tap on the power button sends it into sleep. You're right that it wakes up again very quickly, but it very annoyingly terminates some online connections (e.g. IRC)
- sitharus 13y agoOdd, on my Mid 2012 rMBP a quick press does nothing. Doesn't bother me though, I've never accidentally hit the power button, but my normal typing position keeps that whole row of keys outside my finger range.
- userbinator 13y agoDo you have one of the ones with a separate power button?
- rimantas 13y agoThat's what I was also wondering about. I suppose it should act a bit like caps lock key on Apple keyboards: quick tap does not trigger caps lock, only a slightly longer will do the trick. Would make sense for power button do the similar thing.
- bilalq 13y agoThe way the caps lock button works is utterly broken. There's no way to get around the delay and it just punishes you for hitting it quickly. I used to use the key as my primary way of switching case (not optimal, I know), but now it's useless to even remap it to something like Control because of the delay.
- ElliotH 13y agoMid 13 MacBook Air 11" ignores a short tap and turns off instantly at a longer press. I wonder if it's a machine thing or if it's a typing style thing?
