Press any key - Which key to press? [closed]

Solution 1:

TL;DR In most cases the Any key is the space bar.

Check your skills

sudo apt-get install xautomation
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys
printf "%s\n\t%s\n" "\"notify-send 'Any key'\"" "space" > ./foo
xbindkeys -f ./foo

check your skills and after that killall xbindkeys, maybe with copy'n'paste ;)

BTW, I have the Any key. Works great.
