Nope, it actually opens LinkedIn.
“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+W” opens Word in a browser
“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+T” opens Teams in a browser
“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+X” opens Excel in a browser
“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+P” opens Powerpoint in a browser
“Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win+O” opens Outlook in a browser the locally installed Outlook program
That’s insane considering 99% of users have never heard of F23 and the ones who know use a separate shortcut to activate it. I’ve never seen a keyboard with all 24 function keys.

That’s nothing…that keyboard don’t even have the trackball
Oh shit i gotta be careful. F23 is what i “push” via python script to keep my teams status green…
Microsoft just broke your workflow
Please share ty
I think the library is called pyautogui and you just make the script push whatever button every x seconds. I think the teams timeout is like 5min.
That’s bullshit. F13-F36 should be reserved for user macros and remain unused by default in user applications.
I thought I was somewhat of a power user, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of there being function keys beyond F12 :C
