It's because the surface book added an Office button which was just a macro for Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win

More recently, "LShift+Win+F23" opens Copilot

More recently, “LShift+Win+F23” opens Copilot

That's insane considering 99% of users have never heard of F23 and the ones who know use a separate shortcut to activate it. I've never seen a keyboard with all 24 function keys.

Because you weren’t around when the keyboards were gigantic. IBM keyboard

Remember when they would actually add an option for obscure use cases like this? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I'm pretty sure that pretty much the whole Windows API is written like this to work around developers' buggy code

what does "pepperbridge farm members" have to do anything with the rest of the universe?

I think the library is called pyautogui and you just make the script push whatever button every x seconds. I think the teams timeout is like 5min.

[–] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

That's the point. The new copilot key emulates shift+win+f23 because they expect that nobody is using f23

[–] apprehentice@lemmy.enchanted.social 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's bullshit. F13-F36 should be reserved for user macros and remain unused by default in user applications.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 19 points 7 months ago

I thought I was somewhat of a power user, but this is the first time I've ever heard of there being function keys beyond F12 :C

Never used an iSeries I see
