    As long as it’s treated like a media key and not an intrusion of the standard, then I couldn’t care less. It’s a stupid idea, but Microsoft is so often full of those.

    Edit> And after reading the article…of course MS is intruding on the standard just like they did with the windows key, but at least that one was turned into “meta” or “super”. I guess this will guarantee I won’t buy another MS keyboard.

      It’s Microsoft, intrusion of standards is their entire M.O.

      It’s the “extend” in “embrace, extend, extinguish”.

      The Windows key turning into “super” and getting some use on Linux was just Linux DE finding a use for that key nobody asked for.

      Couldn’t they just convert some existing unused key, like Scroll Lock? To be honest, even Pause/Break seems outdated to me.
