Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 - Lemmy.World

Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

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.

So long Caps Lock/Scroll Lock

I remap Caps Lock to Escape.

. . . .

How did you know I am a Vim user?

Same. TouchBar Macs inadvertently forced me to move to a more comfy layout.
