it's not really an "extra" key.. but it is mapped differently (lsh+win+f23 or sumsuch) than one it might be 'replacing'.
in us-ansi layout the right-side ctrl, a second winlogo or context menu key.. could all be gone leaving only right alt and new copilot key between space and arrows.
F keys go up to 23?? I’m missing out on so many functions!!!
Fun fact: Tools like caffeine use these higher F-keys to bypass locking your desktop due to inactivity.
Less fun fact: Some terminal windows will happily process and display such high F-keys as input, leaving you with a screen full of garbage when you return.
