    I’m a huge keyboard shortcut guy. But any more than two modifiers can fuck right off. I wanna launch a program, not play carpel tunnel Twister.

      That’s the point, they are this long on purpose so that you never actually press them by accident, and never conflict with any other shortcut someone would use. They exist for custom keyboards that have an “Office” or “Copilot” button. The special key then sends that shortcut.

      I believe this is so they can make keyboards with a fancy “LinkedIn Button” on them, just like they’re trying to do now with Copilot.

      Yea I hate the 11 right click menu. But there is a registry key to switch it back to how it should be.

        Here’s a trick: if you’ve got a right-click button on your keyboard, that brings up the normie right-click menu. No idea why.

          That button doesn’t specifically perform a right click. It is a button to open a menu, not necessarily right click. It just happens that right clicking in a lot of situations also acts as hitting the menu key. It’s super pedantic, but a lot of software still makes use of it and it sends a different command for stuff like scripting and macros.
