Wait what?

I'm inconvenienced by how ubiquitous the microsoft branded 'meta-key' is; now you are telling me that there are keyboards manufactured with a dedicated copilot key? What a load of rubbish. I hate this AI corpo-dystopia

Yes, it will be required eventually.

Unlike with their Meta key, Microsoft is not willing to use new scancodes. The Office key is Meta+LCtrl+LAlt+LShift, the Copilot key sends LShift+Meta+F23.

That feeling you're experiencing right now is how I felt ages ago when the windows key became a thing.

The windows key is awesome though. It's basically an "OS key", since windows is not the only one that can use it, so the OS can have many hotkeys, all of them using the OS key, and it shouldn't conflict with any program's hotkeys. If any program uses the OS key for their default hotkey, that's their problem.

For me I mostly just dislike the location of it. I have accidentally hit it many times. Would be better if it were somewhere up near the f1-f12 keys.

Noooo, you got this backwards. Think about how many times you wanted an extra key for something. Push-to-talk in VoIP apps, extra modifier keys so you don't have to use double-modifiers... The possibilities are endless!

Standardize more useless keys so I can remap them on every keyboard!
