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.

    I will not buy any computer with that. The windows icon is one thing but that is over the fucking line.

    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.
