Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

Fair enough. Alt used to be that before we decided to have a button to annoyingly pop up the menu strip. And there's still Alt Gr for that in full sized keyboards if we want to go back that way.

Alt Gr is something else. Non-english keyboards use it all day every day for typing their charactersets.

It could probably replace the right OS key, though.
