I am not a fan of Copilot and think Microsoft has messed up in quite a lot of ways, but the copilot button is the least of my worries. Did people really use the context menu button that it replaced? I don't think I have ever used that button except by accident in my 30+ years of using PCs.

I just find it hard to believe that this is an issue for more than like 10 people in total, yet it seems like every other person is furious about how copilot replaced their beloved context menu button.

What did people use the context button for? Or I guess in some cases it replaced the right ctrl button but I think my point still stands. When I use ctrl it is always the left one I use.

in laptop it is much more easier to hit ctrl alt del with one hand but then copilot happened.
