How to wake from suspend with keyboard

Hi all. I have an Acer laptop and followed the instructions on the following ArchWiki article on how to wake up my laptop with the mouse.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ud … USB_device

Does anybody know how to do the same with the laptop's builtin keyboard? So far, I can wake up from suspend with the power button and the mouse but not any keyboard button.

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with Acer in particular, but many laptops walk from suspend also with the fn toggle key (often in the lower left).

The funtion key combo does not work. I looked on the Net but no info on this. Weird. Letting it go for now...
