It's innocent enough but this headline somehow just reads like it's from the onion.
"Microsoft paid manufacturers to add another stupid key to laptops? Huh, okay then. Stupid key is now in linux. Map it up however you like yall."
Linux users when they see the Copilot key:
emacs enjoyers:
"Linux developers find a use for stupid Copilot key that no one has ever pressed."
Not the glorious return of the Hyper key I expected, but I'll take it.
I know right. I love me some more shortcut modifiers.
In theory it is possible to map rctrl to another key either way, but the different glyph on it is nice to differentiate it from an actual control key.
More like extorted.
