What does the Key on its own do, what character does it send? Is it something standard or is it something custom?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

standard, surprisingly enough, it's essentially just a shortcut to the key combination ctrl+shift+f23. guess microsoft figured they couldn't leave all the extra F keys unattended

It's something like win-ctrl-f23

(Despite the physical buttons having been missing for a long time on regular keyboards, there are still scancodes for f13-f24)

For what it's worth too, the Windows "Powertoys" utilities have always been able to remap it.

Probably Ctrl + shift + win + alt + C, or something like that. The same modifiers + first letter of the program work for other services like word and linkedin

by the small icon it must be opening the context menu at the currently focused place.
