...and now doesn't work for display sleep settings. Some finicky/
unpredictable behavior going on. Be interesting to have more folks on
the list try the Energy Saver panel and see what happens. Ryan, what
happened for you?

I'm sure someone will remember. I think it might have been as
early as lat last year though. You hit space and then you can type
a number. It might have been another dialog though but I seem to
recall that it was the sleep one.

Hi David,
Do you remember offhand when this thread was?...or the gist of the
conversation? I don't see that anything useful is happening with
the hidden edit field. I must be missing something.

Hi Joe and all,
I think this was puzzled out a while ago on the list and there is
an edit field that allows you to type in and right next to that
field, you will find the word in text corresponding to your keyed
selection.

Hi Ryan,
It's sort of non intuitive if you're using VO. If you're using VO:
1. Go to Energy Saver pane in System Preferences.
2. Navigate to the text label "Put the computer to sleep when it
is inactive for:"
3. Navigate (2 VO key presses) to the slider. You'll hear the
percent adjustment for the slider.
4. Interact with the horizontal slider and set to 100.0%. The 100%
setting is "Never" as in: Never put the computer to sleep.
NOTE: Text labels for the horizontal slider are "after" the slider
and can be reviewed with VO...but there's really no way with VO to
know which text label corresponds to which percent setting on the
slider. Usability issue that needs to be thought through.
Hope the info helps!

Hello. I'm trying to use my Mac Mini as an alarm by using Cron.
The problem is that after long periods of time, the computer goes
into sleep mode and the crontab doesn't get executed. I looked
in system preferences in Energy saver and I didn't see anything
about stopping the computer from going into sleep mode. Is there
anywhere in system preferences to go to stop this behavior?
Thanks.
Ryan
