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" opensOutlook in a browserthe locally installed Outlook programClassic 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
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...
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
That's bullshit. F13-F36 should be reserved for user macros and remain unused by default in user applications.
I thought I was somewhat of a power user, but this is the first time I've ever heard of there being function keys beyond F12 :C
Never used an iSeries I see
Tom Scott says: "then, it presses the F24 key." https://youtu.be/lIFE7h3m40U?t=986
OK, now I'm just going to try Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+Every-Key-On-The-Keyboard just to see what happens.
I bet there's a registry key that let's you remap P to Pornhub.
Alright, who's gonna dig for the key?
mark Zuckerberg will.
Or just put all your porn into PowerPoint presentations.
Report back.

Add a REG_SZ entry with your desired command as value.
Since the command doesn't parse parameters, you'll have to write a script that opens your browser at the desired url and put it in your PATH.
I've got Office 365 installed so the shortcuts open those local applications.
