Only if they promise to remove the most pointless keyboard button in the world as well.

The Windows key? I use it constantly.

Windows + Left/Right to dock screens, Windows + E for a quick file explorer, Windows + X for settings and dev options, Windows + P to adjust your second monitor, I'm sure there's other hotkeys as well.

Win+X U U Shutdown
Win+L Lock
Win+V Clipboard history (might need to be enabled but * very useful)
Win+Tab Visual alt tab
Win+D Show desktop
Win+S Screen snipping tool (for partial screenshot)
Win and start typing for search
Win+1-9 switch between windows (works well if your apps are pinned to taskbar in specific order)

Use all of these and more

Win+X S U for sleep! I use it every night. My dog even knows when I press it from the pattern and immediately runs to the backdoor for his last potty of the night.

WIN+X has all sorts of useful stuff in it, but switch to Linux tho. You can even still use the button!

I wouldn't call it pointless, having another layer is quite handy. But I would like to see it adopt a more ambiguous name, sure Super or Meta is here but they haven't caught on due to their logo still being plastered on the key.

I'm honestly a bit confused on what is the most pointless button in the world considering the command key is on Mac for why do I need a ctr replacement when ctr is right there the windows equivalent at least has the utility of exiting programs without closing them

switch to linux and the Windows key becomes the Super key, unused in shortcuts by any application and so you can map it to whatever you want. super useful.
