Comment on A new Copilot key to kick off the year of AI-powered Windows PCsparent

Comments

The Office key is apparently just CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN, as Office Key + W is advertised to open Word and Office Key + L is advertised to open LinkedIn, but you can perform both of those actions in plain Windows by just using CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + W and CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + L respectively.

I'm well aware since I wanted to bind tgose shortcuts and of course windows has crap there too

There's a hack for it: <https://github.com/acook/OfficeKeyFix>

The Office key shortcuts get bound by Explorer when it starts. If you bind the keys when Explorer does not run, you own them and can then free them after Explorer has started.
