I’m already not using 30% of my keyboard’s keys so it’d only be one more😅

Anyway, I don’t plan on using anything windows related for the rest of my life except in a VM.

It will replace the useless Menu key.

Of thats correct, will it take the key ID? Will the menu key just be repurposed

[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 1 points 10 months ago

It will be just repurposed I think.

Thats probably the best option, mabe even just barely enough to call this a not so big deal.
