That one is actually useful and I use it every day.
Can we also talk about stupid keyboard manufacturers putting media functions and whatnot on the F keys, but then requiring me to hold Fn to use it as a regular F key? Nobody wants to go Fn+Alt+F4 to close a window. What the hell?
It’s because executives don’t even know what the regular function keys are for, since the only program they ever use is Outlook. The media controls are much more useful to them.
And as everyone knows, executives are the only people who buy laptops. So it makes sense to cater to them.
Yeah that’s unacceptable. You can probably fix it in software but still unacceptable.
On my mechanical keyboard, I mapped my most used programs to de F butttons, with the Ctrl+Alt+F key combination. At work we have a pretty good quality printer, so I printed the icons and taped it above the keys. It’s a little janky but it works really well.

Your keyboard lets you press Alt with function keys? That’s pretty nice.
