No one's gonna throw shade at the ≣ key? Aka the Menu Key?
It's next to useless. It's almost always used to open the right-click menu, which is specifically for GUIs and based on the mouse position... so why not just right-click? What silly person is using their mouse except to bring up the context menu?
I'd say the same about the Super Key (❖) Aka The Windows Key, but I got i3wm on my laptop and I am loving having a GUI without needing to use my mortal enemy: the Trackpad. Plus it's a minor time-save above moving windows/clicking menus with the mouse; still doesn't apply to Menu when your finger's already hovering over the RMB.
It's so useless that Microsoft recently announced it's going to replace it with a button for their stupid AI bullshit Copilot
