Today. I don’t like mouse inputs.
Comment on The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoWhen was the last time you on purpose used the application key on your keyboard to open the right-click context menu so you could navigate it using the arrow keys? Because that is the key it replaced - Microsoft has demanded for the last 32 years that the two spaces CTRL and ALT on Windows compatible keyboards are used for the Windows key, and the Application Key.

My laptop has a control key there. I know on some larger desktop keyboards there’s the application key, but I’ve not seen one on many keyboards from the last 10 years

I’ve used it yesterday. Haven’t been at the desktop today, but will use the key when I get at it.
Normally it’s mapped to alt in my setup, while alt is remapped to ctrl, but I haven’t gotten around to figuring out how to do that with Cinnamon. Meanwhile, Double Commander allows adding useful actions in the context menu, and Emacs has the commands menu (M-x) mapped to the ‘application’ key.

I used it regularly before I got a keyboard that turned out to have a useless Fn in its place

TIL I even had an application key there. I don’t think I’ve ever used it.

Well… I use it. I find it faster to use than the middle click gesture in the touchpad and the touchpad’s buttons are awful to press, so I use the keyboard button and navigate with the touchpad

Is a middle click even an option on a touchpad? I get annoyed that I can’t even right click hold and then left click. Rip fishing minigames on trackpad

Tapping with 2 fingers usually works as a middle click, but sometimes it fail for me, sending a single click instead
