Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

  I just tried this. Why does this exist? Why does this need to be a shortcut? Who uses LinkedIn so much that they need to use a 5 key shortcut to get there faster?

    For anybody who doesn’t want to try it, this key combo opens LinkedIn in your default browser.

    It’s not a setting you can change, the only way to disable it is to edit the registry.

    WTF.

      So you are saying the setting can be changed. You can even do it over terminal if you like.

    They have an “Office Key” on some official keyboards. Pressing Office+L opens LinkedIn. The Office key is actually mapped to that long modifier shortcut.

    Did you think the MS C-Suite does much other than bloviate on LinkedIn in-between (and during) meetings? It’s for them and execs everywhere.
