Just open up notepad, start cleaning, and then use the resulting document as a word finder puzzle. Hell, if you're really lucky you might write the next best selling novel.

Wouldn't recommend this. I mean, it was publishable, sure. But there were tons of spelling errors.
Bah! That's what editors are for!
They told me it was already published by Shakespeare.
You're supposed to clean your keyboard?
I bought one with lights and it's a glorious display case for my collection of dead skin, crumbs and stray pubes.
How are your pubes getting near your k--
wait, no I don't want the answer to that question.

There were two HDMI ports. (I selected the correct one)
- Unplug keyboard or turn off bluetooth.
- Clean keyboard.
ok but get this: I have a laptop
Unplug the laptop. Clean keyboard.
Or rip it out and clean it.
Unplugging the keyboard requires getting down on my hands and knees, groping around to find a plug I can't visually see, and probably dislocating my shoulder in the process.
And then even more luck required to get the plug I can't see back IN, trying the USB every single way blind by feel only, and neither way wants to accept it's the right one.
It's an absolute last resort.
My keyboard has a detachable cable so you can just unplug it from the keyboard
I'm happy for you

My god, unplug the USB or just turn off the keyboard. Simple.
Just lock the screen. The worst that'll happen is a failed login or switching the keyboard layout or something.
Windows-L is the hotkey (in Windows at least), for those who maybe didn't know.

Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.
Sounds like a mouthwash company
Unplug it or turn it off if it's wireless. Not that hard.
What is "unplug"? /j
It's what happens when you trip over the lamp's power cord, except for a keyboard.
You could also just unplug the keyboard
Everyone has a reason here why this isn't necessary, but frankly it's just not a dumb idea and especially relevant for shared workplace workstations. I'd rather have a disable for cleaning button than a windows button.

Luckily, my Keyboard is so dirty that I need to pull off all keycaps anyway.
Almost all DEs have a lock screen...
