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

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

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

That's nothing...that keyboard don't even have the trackball

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It’s beautiful

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I just have a mouse jiggle app

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.

[–] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] apprehentice@lemmy.enchanted.social 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's bullshit. F13-F36 should be reserved for user macros and remain unused by default in user applications.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 19 points 1 year ago

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

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Never used an iSeries I see

Tom Scott says: "then, it presses the F24 key." https://youtu.be/lIFE7h3m40U?t=986

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

OK, now I'm just going to try Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+Every-Key-On-The-Keyboard just to see what happens.

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet there's a registry key that let's you remap P to Pornhub.

[–] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, who's gonna dig for the key?

mark Zuckerberg will.

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Or just put all your porn into PowerPoint presentations.

HKCU\Software\Classes\ms-officeapp\Shell\Open\Command

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.

[–] WhyDoYouPersist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I've got Office 365 installed so the shortcuts open those local applications.
