    I don’t see an issue with a “super” key. But what would a copilot key bring that’s of any value? The super key already does everything you’d need.

      more keys for custom keybinds ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ depending on where it’s located I’ll probably just use it as a microphone toggle

        We have so many unused potential binds already, though. Knowing the way tech goes these days, they’ll find a way to hard-code the key to one macro and that’s it lol

          Depends how they do it, if it’s in the registry you can change it.
          The point is to have an unused button that you can rebind freely

            Pure hyperbole “late stage capitalism”: they’ll have it wired directly into the board. At best it will cover one key chord.

            Even later stage, it’ll send some proprietary data that only windows 11 can interpret. Linux users will figure it out and make use of it, then will be promptly sued out of existence for copyright infringement or something lol.

            Can we get this more dystopian? I’m out of ideas.

              Nah, they’ll send a package to a Microsoft server that’ll then respond with the keybind and open the program

                But you can only press it five times before you have to buy a license to active it.

                Also, if you want to deactivate it you’ll need to purchase a separate license.

                If neither license is purchased, it presents a nag screen each time. 😂

                  What, fuck licenses, we’re doing subscriptions here. With multiple tiers, first one just reduces the charge per activation, and the ones after that give you X “free” uses per 12 hours.

          yeah it’s almost certainly gonna be bound to Super+C, the existing keybind for copilot
