Almost all DEs have a lock screen...
Why would you be pressing down on the keys anyway? Just remove the caps so you can ACTUALLY clean the keyboard.
This might just be my keyboard specifically, but I broke some of the caps doing this and had to special-order replace them.

I bought an expensive mechanical keyboard. It is the bane of my existence.
Oversensitive little princess that needs its precious little keycaps polished every other week to stop it from double tapping itself, and when that doesn't work you have to program it not to hiccup, and yet it still does.
Never used to have this problem with the cheap plastic ones I used to buy.
Dont buy into the mechanical keyboard fad. It's a scam for idiots like myself who think pretty LEDs will solve their nonexistent problems.
I have a mechanical keyboard and have double click issues. I just kinda press down the keys really hard until they stop double clicking...
Is there a software solution for this? Like something that prevents double clicking by filtering keyboard inputs? ^for^ ^Wayland,^ ^on^ ^Linux?^
