I want every distro to have a “we don’t do that here” popup when that key is pressed.

[-] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

Or you know, map it to something useful?

“Pressing this button has been reported to the system administrator”

[-] hanke@feddit.nu 12 points 6 months ago

And then instantly a notification native to your DE saying "someone pressed the button"

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 31 points 6 months ago

nice, a dedicated Krunner button!

Isn't there already a windows key? I remember when they added that with windows 95

[-] Xuderis@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Yes, but this replaces the right control key iirc

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

ahh, classic micro$quash. "We're making everything worse! Now pay us."

This is the clippy key

Guess the Hyper key is due to make a comeback!

On Microsoft's part, I guess. The support this article is talking about is supporting the ability to map the 'Copilot' key to whatever you want.

[-] andioop@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

:) I'm lucky enough to have bought my Windows computer and switched to Linux before the Copilot key. But if I got it now, it would feel really good switching to Linux to make the "fuck you I don't want to use this and you wasted my keyboard space with it anyways" key useful again.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah but it's a good thing to be able to use that hardware with sane software (Linux)

[-] mrkite@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

What we need is support for the iopeners pizza key.

[-] Ramie@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

Huh, I guess I figured it would just work. When I nuked copilot forcibly from windows it turned the key back into your standard menu key.
