Windows keys started the nightmare for me decades ago. So nice hitting one of those while gaming full-screen!
This conversation happened a thousand times: "but you can hit them again and restore what you were doing"... no, I can't, specially if I have pressed a dozen keys since.
I used to buy IBM keyboards from more civilized times, but my dealer disappeared, maybe he was arrested?
- makecheck 6y agoMy favorite is when I use control-L to clear the screen on a terminal and hit Windows-L by accident to lock the entire laptop.
- chrisco255 6y agoGet you a gaming keyboard with a Windows key lock.
- jasomill 6y agoBetter yet, use any keyboard you like, and remap (left) Windows to a different key code, ideally corresponding to some key that's not present on your current keyboard layout and that, unlike the Windows key, is fully remappable by AutoHotkey, in-game options, etc., using something like https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys
- narag 6y agoI don't play much lately, but I do have a Keyz Iridium. It was the cheapest mechanic keyboard I found, at least what feels more similar to mechanic. Don't get me wrong, the trippy colours are nice too. And... it has a combo to disable Windows keys!! Thank you very much :)
- Yizahi 6y agoMy rather new HP laptop has scroll lock hidden on the unlabeled combination fn+C which is obviously right next to the daily used ctrl+C. It is trigger, and it doesn't LED or any OS indication that it's on or off. Good luck understanding why arrow keys are broken in Excel :)
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoDoesn't windows 10 have a gaming mode that disables that key in full screen?
