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

    I really hope it’s the “Any” key. I have upwards of 40 ys of modal forms from which there is no escape because they demand I press any key to continue…

      Whenever something tells me to press any key to continue, I take it as a challenge. “Okay, Imma press Scroll Lock.”

        I forget what game it was, but one of them had a “press any key” and actually reacted to Scroll Lock. Something like “I bet you didn’t expect that to work.”

          Subnautica starts with a “Press any key to continue.” and they seem to be serious. It reacts to numlock and scroll lock.

              It wouldn’t on my keyboard, because I don’t think that key sends any data to the PC; it’s talking to the keyboard’s microcontroller.

              Probably not… but it’s possible… I wonder if my GameCube Sharkboard with Fn1 Fn2 and Fn3 (shutdown the computer) would work…

          I gave my wife a keyboard with an any key on it (custom design I made from wasd) and it doesn’t work for anything that says “press any key”. Quite annoying honestly.
