How Do You Clean Your MacBook Without Accidentally Doing Stuff?
One of the worst things about Apple removing the power button for me is it is now impossible to clean the keys and trackpad without giving commands. You can power down, but literally any key you hit will power it back up. Last time I did this I must have pressed some weird combination of keys because when it had finished starting up the status bar had disappeared!
Is there a cleaning mode? A way to disable the keys and trackpad until you hit a specified combination of keys? (Cmd + U, for 'Unlock' for example.)

You could just lock your MacBooks screen and then delete any characters that get typed in your password field after wiping it down, then log back in. that’s what I normally do
I do the same thing, the login screen seems to disregard any keyboard shortcuts that you may make while cleaning the keyboard.
Oh my f*cking god. Gonna do that now and get rid of this annoying blotch near my "T" key that's been there for months.
Thanks! Will try this next time.
