I already used a Teensy to send a CONTROL keypress every 10 seconds. This came in handy to keep machines from going to sleep or auto-locking.
Today I wrote a script for my Bash Bunny to do the same.
Warning: if you use this, make sure you unplug the Bash Bunny before you start typing on the computer. Otherwise the CONTROL keypresses will interfere with your typing, potentially ending up in unwanted commands like CTRL-Q: Quit

Hey Didier! Love your posts and the contributions you’ve made over the years. I’ve seen some anti sleep programs press the F15 key. Yup, F-fifteen so it doesn’t do what you mentioned while typing.
Cheers!

Awesome. I’ve been using teensy since a long time. Waiting for my BB now – once received will redo all described here. Kudos!
