> Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards
Not to mine.
> A quick Microsoft demo video shows the Copilot key in between the cluster of arrow keys and the right Alt button, a place where many keyboards usually put a menu button, a right Ctrl key, another Windows key, or something similar
I barely use any of those keys, especially the menu key.
Just Microsoft's marketing department doing what they have alwasy done.
- ActionHank 3y agolooks like it takes the place of the menu key?
- accrual 3y agoI'd rather they take the right Win key. Sometimes I'm able to do quite a bit of work without using a mouse, and having the Menu/right-click key is useful. There's got to be cases were menus are only available via right-click.
- pests 3y agoYou can turn on mouse keys which let's you move move and click the mouse (left and right) using the numpad.
- int_19h 3y agoShift+F10 is the standard shortcut to open the context menu in Windows regardless of presence/absence of the Menu key.
- accrual 3y agoThanks for this! I'll keep it with another handy shortcut, Ctrl + Esc, which is an alternative to the Win key for keyboards that may not have one (e.g. IBM Model M).
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> I barely use any of those keys, especially the menu key. I need it in situations where I don't have a working mouse. eg: new virtual machine without extensions or where where I'm debugging mouse issues.
- bonton89 3y agoI complained about this as well since I use it for automation but SHIFT+F10 does the same thing.
