So now Windows bloat is extending to the physical keyboard itself.
Looking at the Microsoft blog post they haven't said exactly how they want keyboard layouts to change. So on a full size keyboard this could be either new key entirely, or replace an existing (and arguably more useful) key.
I don't remember the last time I pressed the "right click" contextual menu key, so honestly it's not like it'll be too annoying. Unless they do replace an actually useful key, at which point I guess the people making "make Windows actually work good" apps will get to live another year.
I’ve never even heard of this key that you are talking about, yet it’s mentioned several times in this thread.
the key
thanks for the picture. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Just to check, I went over and looked at my wife's work laptop and it's not on that keyboard, but it is on her external keyboard, but not as a separate key, it's part of the print screen button!
