What about the LinkedIn key.
That’s actually a shortcut for ctrl+alt+shift+L… that is an (unconfigurable?) hotkey for opening LinkedIn in edge.
Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

Oh cool, another useless gimmick just like the 'Office Key"

Actually, a dedicated key to open ChatGPT seems convenient. I don’t hate it.

Can’t you go in your system settings and bind whatever combination you like to do just that?

Don’t you see? They’re fucking with the denominator. My 60% is already technically closer to 58%. If they keep adding keys, I don’t know how my mech can keep up with the shrinkflation. I can’t become one of those 50% weirdos. Microsoft is just finding more ways to ruin my life.
Psythik@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah and I already do. But why make it a key combo when you could just have a single dedicated key instead?
It’s not like anyone actually uses the menu key or the right Start key anyway. 'Bout damn time Microsoft remaps them to something more useful. Next they should do the Pause/Break key. That one hasn’t been useful since the DOS days.

We should also get a chrome key And a windows store key And a Microsoft.com link key A key to open minecraft Why not a key for launching the “windows action menu” or whatever they call it A key to open the control panel How about a key to open the settings menu?
Why are we limiting ourselves? We should have 500 keys and at least 300 of them should be unique to windows.

Im pretty sure you could look up key remappers and do that already

Hey! I do use menu key regularly! And so pause and scroll lock! Print creen is obvious and everyone uses it. Right? Right!? RIGHT?!?

Pause is usually the compose key (diacritics starter) on Linux desktops. But I’ll agree about Scroll Lock, that one is truly useless.

It’s already mapped to Windows Button + C.

You can do Windows Button + C to open CoPilot.
