I thought this was a trick to get Windows users to nuke their system or something...
Nope, it actually opens LinkedIn.
"Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+W" opens Word in a browser
"Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+T" opens Teams in a browser
"Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+X" opens Excel in a browser
"Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+P" opens Powerpoint in a browser
"Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+O" opens ~~Outlook in a browser~~ the locally installed Outlook program
Classic Microsoft.
It's because the surface book added an Office button which was just a macro for Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win
More recently, "LShift+Win+F23" opens Copilot
That's insane considering 99% of users have never heard of F23 and the ones who know use a separate shortcut to activate it. I've never seen a keyboard with all 24 function keys.
Because you weren’t around when the keyboards were gigantic. IBM keyboard
That's nothing...that keyboard don't even have the trackball
It’s beautiful
Oh shit i gotta be careful. F23 is what i "push" via python script to keep my teams status green...
Microsoft just broke your workflow
Remember when they would actually add an option for obscure use cases like this? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I'm pretty sure that pretty much the whole Windows API is written like this to work around developers' buggy code
what does "pepperbridge farm members" have to do anything with the rest of the universe?
I just have a mouse jiggle app
Please share ty
I think the library is called pyautogui and you just make the script push whatever button every x seconds. I think the teams timeout is like 5min.

That's the point. The new copilot key emulates shift+win+f23 because they expect that nobody is using f23
