    I hate that they defined a Copilot key on standard keyboards

      Microsoft still riding the high of replacing the Super key with the Windows key back in windows 95, and trying to replicate it.

      There was an “Office” key instead of ctrl right only a few years ago, which was a total fumble. Here’s hoping the same fate awaits the copilot key, that’ll make for fun stories in tech museums in a few years.

        I would make them get me a different laptop

        that’s a serious ergonomic issue to not have CTRL where it should be. I am not even joking. my RSI wouldn’t let me.

        edit: oh wait it’s the right control. yeah that’s annoying but not as big a deal lol

        C’mon they could have at least placed it in place of the menu key instead of rctrl… It’s like they want you to hit it by accident

          Not all laptops have the ability to remap keys in the BIOS/UEFI

            If it’s your own computer there’s always autohotkey. Or Linux. Preferably Linux.

              It’s not a key, it sends left win + left shift + f23. Can’t be disentangled from those other modifier keys, true remapping is impossible unless you can get to the keyboard firmware. Even under linux.

              Yes, but I don’t know if any software on windows can actually send ctrl+alt+del to windows given that the key combo is a system interrupt sequence…
