I wouldn’t call it pointless, having another layer is quite handy. But I would like to see it adopt a more ambiguous name, sure Super or Meta is here but they haven’t caught on due to their logo still being plastered on the key.

Only if they promise to remove the most pointless keyboard button in the world as well.

I’m honestly a bit confused on what is the most pointless button in the world considering the command key is on Mac for why do I need a ctr replacement when ctr is right there the windows equivalent at least has the utility of exiting programs without closing them

switch to linux and the Windows key becomes the Super key, unused in shortcuts by any application and so you can map it to whatever you want. super useful.

The Windows key? I use it constantly.
Windows + Left/Right to dock screens, Windows + E for a quick file explorer, Windows + X for settings and dev options, Windows + P to adjust your second monitor, I’m sure there’s other hotkeys as well.
