They literally broke 40yr standard keyboard layouts on laptops by replacing right alt buttons with their bullshit AI button.

Are they going to fix hardware they've already sold? On every OEM?



No need; they could just patch Windows to add the UI to override Win-F26 or whatever their synthetic Fkey was (currently disallowed by their software!).


PowerToys for the rescue!

I almost commented that you can just configure in the settings, but actually the available options don't include Alt. On my Hungarian layout Thinkpad T-14 it replaced the context menu key, not the right-alt, which is luckily the AltGraph key that has a substantial role in Hungarian input method, it cannot be omitted.
