    These ctrl shift alt win shortcuts are not meant to be doable manually, they’re for dedicated buttons on certain keyboards. A manufacturer wanted a linked in button so Microsoft made that shortcut. However, the fact that they are baked in instead of somehow detecting if a keyboard needs that button in a different way is a little strange. It’s like how the new copilot button uses a key combo with an F key higher than 12

      Keyboards with physical F keys higher than 12 absolutely do exist tho.

      This one’s ancient, but I also have a slightly less old apple wireless keyboard that goes up to F19. IIRC goes up to a theoretical maximum of F64, but don’t quote me on that.

        I’m aware. But the point is that these shortcuts are meant to be awkward to the point of almost impossibility to do on a normal keyboard.
