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.

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

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
