Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994::Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.
I’m already not using 30% of my keyboard’s keys so it’d only be one more😅
Anyway, I don’t plan on using anything windows related for the rest of my life except in a VM.
It will replace the useless Menu key.
Of thats correct, will it take the key ID? Will the menu key just be repurposed
It will be just repurposed I think.
Thats probably the best option, mabe even just barely enough to call this a not so big deal.
I will not buy any computer with that. The windows icon is one thing but that is over the fucking line.
Add the f25 key for “fuck Microsoft” x25
Put some dang standard labels on the function keys.
F1 = Help
F2 = Rename
F3 = Search
F4 = Close
F5 = Refresh
F6-F10 = Decorative
F11 = Full screen
F12 = Goto definition
I’ve never intentionally used F1 key to open help before
I actually have, in some older software F1 was basically an included digital copy of the manual and was great to have to find an obscure setting or feature.
Annoying when you accidentally hit it instead of ESC in certain Windows programs, loading Microsoft’s windows help website in your browser without your consent.
On Linux it usually does nothing, as it should.
Even worse when it does it in Edge
Doesnt it in gnome gtk and KDE open the “about” page with a help button somewhere on it?
