1. You have a Mac laptop with an outboard Bluetooth keyboard. It’s asleep.
2. You wake up the Mac by hitting the Touch ID on the laptop keyboard.
3. The Mac is annoyingly slow at starting to respond to keystrokes on the outboard. Several seconds, sometimes.

How to fix:

1. Hit any key on the BT keyboard. The Mac will start waking up.
2. Now hit the TouchID to get signed in.
3. Hey presto, the Mac is already listening to the BT.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

@timbray the down-arrow key always works. you might have to then press the touch-id to log in.
