Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

Then you had all those "for the web" Windows 95 PCs that had all the extra buttons like the Calculator and Web Browser and Sleep buttons scattered around above the keyboard that I don't think people tended to use because Windows wasn't built with them in mind. It seems they're in the keyboard standard now as if they were any other key.

Yeah there were some wacky keyboard shortcut buttons in the 90s, particularly during the dot com bubble. Perhaps we could bring back the pizza key!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

My keyboard has mail/browser/home/suspend keys in the corner. I use suspend and home (to get to the set main page in the browser) every day.
