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

      And the Keyboard Layout is standardized by regulations in multiple parts of the world, I’m not sure if Microsift can actually influence the layout there…

        They got the “Win” key into the ANSI 105 key layout and the ISO/IEC 9995 layout.

        I actually hate it because I end up with a Microsoft logo on hardware that is supposed to be generic.

        They can probably just make it a requirement for OEMs that want to license Windows for a pre-install.

        Standardization boards aren’t magical cabals of fallen-from-the-sky sage wizards. They’re made of tech people appointed by the contributing parties and mayor market players, and sometimes government and academia. Which means MS, Google, Apple, IBM, Meta, etc. All sit at most of the boards of standards from ISO consultation to the W3C. That’s one of the ways mega corps define the world.

      Two keys, and they’ve actually been useful. This one, errrrrrrr, not so much. Copilot is barely baked, if you ask me,

        I guess the copilot key could be useful… if you remapped it to do something else.
