Microsoft has announced that it plans to make the biggest change to computer keyboards in years. Specifically, it wants to replace the right Ctrl key with a completely new button. The company has promised that the first keyboards with this new key will be available at the end of February 2024.
The new key, named “Copilot,” will appear between the right Alt key and the arrow keys. It will launch a virtual assistant on computers running Windows 11. This means that on one side of the keyboard, there will be the “Windows” key, and on the other side, there will be the “Copilot” key.
Copilot is an artificial intelligence being developed by Microsoft, which allows for computer operation through natural language written commands. Additionally, with Copilot, users can create textual and graphical content using artificial intelligence.
It is worth noting that in countries where Copilot is not yet available, such as Poland, the new key will launch the Windows system search, which can also be practical.
