Hello,
I'm trying to write my OS, and I just noticed that the ON key is not supported. This is a pretty important key to support. The question is, how? I know that it is a bit different from the other keys.
So the [on] key is handled as an interrupt by the hardware, rather than as a physical key in the direct key input port. Normally, the OS's interrupt handles the ON key, so if you have your own OS, you should write your own interrupt handler. From WikiTI:

Thanks!
So, setting up my interrupt, turning off the screen, and halting should go until it is pressed, or link port activity occurs?
That was surprisingly simple. Thanks!
