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

People are ragging on it here... But it makes a lot of sense. With the way AI is going I'd be happy for a shortcut. Although tbh I don't use like 30% of the keys anyway, so would be fine to just remove irrelevant keys for it.
I know people don't like change but not all change is bad.
While I agree in principle... the word calculators that get praised as "AI" at the moment are very, very bad. Like... really bad. Pushing those unfinished, hallucinating monstrosities onto the keyboard itself is just janky. Just like Cortana was (and is for that matter)
Speaking of Cortana, it's a shame pressing Win + C doesn't already open copilot.
Oh wait, it does, and this extra key is pointless.
I have nothing against a commonly used, OS-independent shortcut key. I do have a problem with MS slapping their greasy logos on things that aren't from MS just because they have the power to strong arm their OEMs.
Windows + C is apparently already the keyboard shortcut for copilot, which is actually what I was going to suggest as an alt to a dedicated button. Actually there's a bunch of windows key combos I wasn't aware of, I can kinda see why they want a dedicated button as I don't think most people know that there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts in windows based on my experience.
Yeah but this change IS bad.
