It's just like the new Copilot 365. Every time I try to type "Ć", Copilot pops up. I have to close the app constantly.

Best part is that it installs itself automatically, without prompting me for that. Thank you Microsoft; nice to see your QA works well.

Every little thing like that creates a new Linux user. After switching I've never looked back. Posted from SteamOS.

  Lol For a good while the default US Intl keyboard in some Linux versions would give a ć instead of a ç for the combination c + ' Makes sense right? Except that made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move Because Brazilian users were expecting c + ' to become ç (And they had to use Alt Gr + c instead)

    The US international keyboard settings suck. It's more convenient to enable a compose key and do diacritics with that.

    As Pole I never had this issue. Why would you even use US Intl keyboard. Even for Arch with install everything manually I haven't any issues

      > Why would you even use US Intl keyboard Because (for some reason) you don't have your "standard" keyboard - just the US ISO one Some keyboards have an extra key (or maybe more than one) and hence can't be mapped fully with a US keyboard

        I don't get it. In Poland we use exclusively US keyboard layout. To type Polish characters we have key combinations with AltGr (as TFA explained in a lot of detail).

        Some people are more accustomed with composing letters + accents instead of using key combinations with AltGr Coming from Windows this is very common

        I'm using custom split keyboard with whatever I program to Blank key and still it never crossed my mind to put any Polish character as single key. In Poland we informally use combinations and maybe some Poles use letter per key but I my entire live I never met a single person to do so

    Not sure what there is to lol about. '+c still composes to ć for me, and that makes sense to me; AltGr+, is ç, AltGr+c is © for me. But all of those symbols are outside my national script so I cannot say that any of them have been burdened by weight of expectation.

And every time you press it, an entire VM gets spun up, fully provisioned, and then set to LLM processing mode even though all you'll be doing is immediately closing the app again. Thanks Microsoft, stellar!

Remember how alt+c used to launch ATI Catalyst Control Center instead of "ć"?

The same thing happened to me in school (during a test...), except I tried to type & on a hungarian keyboard, which is of course also altgr+c.
