Yeah it’s real, Microsoft has built keyboard commands into the keyboard for awhile. Windows Key + E opens Windows Explorer. Think that existed in XP.
Ctrl shift Esc opens task manager.
Win r (run)
Then obviously all the basics Ctrl x,c,v,p,z,y,f
Ctrl t and Ctrl shift t for browsers
(All of those last set should match Mac OS, just substitute Ctrl for Cmd)
Most of them work in Mint and Debian as well.
Although a good feature was updating Ctrl V to Win V which allows you to paste from your clipboard, so all those times you copy data, then copy something else and forget you did and try to paste, you can hit win v, and paste which selection you needed.
W is word
X is Excel
O is Outlook
P is PowerPoint
T is Teams
D is one Drive
N is one Note
L is linked in
🤮
F is for friends who do stuff together
It didn’t open :(
Try Alt+F4
I don’t use windows. Is this serious or are you joking? If true, this is pretty much like TV remotes that have a Netflix or Hulu button.
I find those buttons (well, the YouTube button) quite useful. Shortcut to the statistically most used apps.

I use Linux for Home, and Mac/Windows for work…
Its true, its how the weird special keys on certain keyboards functions. Its just a convoluted keybind integrated into Windows.
And of course now they open Copilot too
