I’d imagine you can run some kind of custom script to disable or reassign the key, similar to what ahk does.
Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

My work just issued me a Surface 7 a few weeks ago, and while it’s nice, the fucking copilot key is driving me absolutely insane. I can’t disable it unless I turn on “Fn Lock” which switches it’s function to open up the Context menu (i.e. right-click menu). HOWEVER, if I do that, then the F1-F12 keys’ volume, brightness, and home/end/pgup/pgdn functions are disabled. I’m convinced this was an intentional decision by MS.

I actually put in an IT ticket over it today right after I made that comment, because I accidentally hit that goddamn key again while typing up an email.
IT came back with - and I shit you not - “Open the Microsoft store and install Microsoft PowerToys”
For context, this company takes security extremely seriously. Just a few months before I started, they had recovered from a major ransomware attack, due to some moron that downloaded an attachment from the wrong email. They don’t even allow flash drives, except for Apricorn encrypted drives, but those you have to sign out directly from IT and the serial number is tracked.
So IT coming back with that was a pretty big surprise to me 😅

Yeah, I mean I’m in that boat myself. But I have the option of SharePoint or Confluence at work and despite the fact that it also sucks, I’m choosing Confluence ten out of ten times.
I get that some people try to do actual work in these docs, but it strikes me as junk every time I encounter it.
