Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994::Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.
I’ve never intentionally used F1 key to open help before
Annoying when you accidentally hit it instead of ESC in certain Windows programs, loading Microsoft’s windows help website in your browser without your consent.
On Linux it usually does nothing, as it should.
Well, technically with your consent.
Even worse when it does it in Edge
Doesnt it in gnome gtk and KDE open the “about” page with a help button somewhere on it?
I actually have, in some older software F1 was basically an included digital copy of the manual and was great to have to find an obscure setting or feature.
That’s why I remapped it to toggle my notes app
