Interesting, thanks for pointing this out! As I now realize, I have
the long-time habit of getting out of a screensaver by hitting a SHIFT
key (to avoid to potentially sending actual keystrokes to windows that
I don't yet see.) I have a strong reluctance to press any key if I
don't see a cursor where the input is going. Is that old-fashioned?
But the shield does not react to SHIFT. That's why I started
fiddling with the mouse instead.
So maybe the shield should listen to the same keys the screensaver
does? That still doesn't explain the sense of it, but anyway...
