@tante not only that, but I literally will refuse to buy, sell, use or even look at any device eith a "#CopilotKey" and/or marketed as #Copilot+ or having #Windows11 preinstalled to begin with!
If I had the €€€€€€ necessary to do it I'd start an #upcycling business (likely as cooperative) just to collect all the #surplus'd machines and put modern #Linux on them and sell those at rock-bottom pricing.
@babble_endanger #MSWindows11 Pro has the option to do nothing (though pressing [Copilot] key brings the setting menu about it that nothing has been set to run *groan*).
Does AutoHotKey make [Copilot] key do absolutely nothing?
@xgranade personally, I'll refuse to buy anything with #NPU, #Copilot or #CopilotKey on as a matter of principle.
Soon you’ll be able to remap the Copilot key on Windows PCs
When Microsoft announced that most new keyboards for Windows PCs would feature a dedicated Copilot key, a lot of people remained unconvinced that it was a good idea to add a key for a single feature that many folks don’t plan on using.
Now Microsoft has announced that it’s begun rolling out an update to Windows Insiders that makes it possible to remap the Copilot key so that it can be used […]

So I just got a new laptop. Everything seemed okay check the hardware and the specs and never thought to look much at the keyboard itself.
Right control notable for allowing people use commands such as ctrl alt delete with one hand and if you happened to use dvorak a whole bunch more such as copy and paste.
It isn't that hard to restore right control to its place. (See picture and reply)
@GossiTheDog TBH, I think #CopilotKey and other bs imare clear "#WontBuy" signs for me!
@hierarchon so what?
Keys #F1-#F24 & #PF1-#PF12 are standardized and on a real 100% board like the #ModelM #Terminal & #Unicomp #PC122 you'll have these...
Alongsite with the usually misnamed #SuperKey, the #Copilot - #Key should've never been allowed or even implemented into existance!
@gnuplusmatt TBH, I'll not only refuse to use any debive with a #CopilotKey but will demand the #WindowsKey logo to be replaced with a #SuperKey...
@sabi jokes aside: Does the #CopilotKey also output #F23 on #Linux?
xenv or a keyboard testing tool?@sabi Interesting...
Personally, I'd rather want a Keyboard with 24 F-Keys, 12 PF-Keys and a #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint instead if a #CopilotKey & #Trackpad...
@sabi thanks for notifying me!
Every product with a #CopilotKey will not be bought nir used by me as a matter of principle!
I should make a list of products to avoid and put up a website like "#NoCopilotKey" so one cancfilter that shite!
@nixCraft personally, I'll put "#AI" just like "#Blockchain" as #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment into the "Never ever buying that shit!" - category.
@simonzerafa @GossiTheDog IMHO, the whole #CopilotPlus bs is just the next peak #Enshittification!
-It has exactly zero redeeming qualities, they didn't even bother to add a #CopilotKey but instead #OEM|s just convert a useful key like "PRINT" (hp) or "SUPER" (Lenovo) to it, destroying existing #KeyboardLayouts just to join in on the #grift!
Fixed my Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13‑inch (M4) 😎 #copilot #copilotkey #apple #ipadpro
@eniko personally, I'll boycott the #Enshittification and refuse to buy a #GPTmouse and anything with a #CopilotKey as a matter of principle!
Just like I refuse to buy stuff without #toolfree remove- and #swappable #batteries...
@yassie_j no, it's just a bullshit #GPTbutton - like the #CopilotKey...
@drwho @osnews personally, I think a #GPTbutton - like the #CopilotKey - is just an #AssholeMove and I'll not only encourage everyone to #boycott this kind of #Enshittification but will personally see to never ever touch, use, sell or even offer such garbage to anyone!
@beandev okay, und ich dachte schon der #CopilotKey wäre peak #Enshittification von #Eingabegeräten!
@lispi314 @EeveeEuphoria @ika it still fucks up ISO/ANSI/JIS layouts to demand some key noone has asked for.
Unlike some " multimedia keys " like mute (mic) & volume up/down the #CopilotKey makes absolutely no sense and is a sign of #Microsoft's ego for which they hope they choke on it...
Microsoft is updating keyboards for the first time in 30 years. Why? To add a Copilot key and make AI interaction easier. Will you find this helpful?
