    Only if they promise to remove the most pointless keyboard button in the world as well.

      The Windows key? I use it constantly.

      Windows + Left/Right to dock screens, Windows + E for a quick file explorer, Windows + X for settings and dev options, Windows + P to adjust your second monitor, I’m sure there’s other hotkeys as well.

        • Win+X U U Shutdown
        • Win+L Lock
        • Win+V Clipboard history (might need to be enabled but * very useful)
        • Win+Tab Visual alt tab
        • Win+D Show desktop
        • Win+S Screen snipping tool (for partial screenshot)
        • Win and start typing for search
        • Win+1-9 switch between windows (works well if your apps are pinned to taskbar in specific order)

        Use all of these and more

      I’m honestly a bit confused on what is the most pointless button in the world considering the command key is on Mac for why do I need a ctr replacement when ctr is right there the windows equivalent at least has the utility of exiting programs without closing them

      switch to linux and the Windows key becomes the Super key, unused in shortcuts by any application and so you can map it to whatever you want. super useful.

      I wouldn’t call it pointless, having another layer is quite handy. But I would like to see it adopt a more ambiguous name, sure Super or Meta is here but they haven’t caught on due to their logo still being plastered on the key.
