We should also get a chrome key

And a windows store key

And a Microsoft.com link key

A key to open minecraft

Why not a key for launching the "windows action menu" or whatever they call it

A key to open the control panel

How about a key to open the settings menu?

Why are we limiting ourselves? We should have 500 keys and at least 300 of them should be unique to windows.

Because none of those keys are useful. AI is useful and isn't Microsoft exclusive.

Once keyboards start adding the key, I'd be legitimately surprised if the major Distros didn't eventually follow suit and integrate AI into their platforms as well. Hell, it might get built right into your favorite desktop environment in a couple years.
