I was half expecting Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+G to open Github... no such luck. However:

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey opens up the Microsoft 365 app

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+O opens Outlook

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+W opens Word

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+X opens Excel

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+P opens PowerPoint

- Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Winkey+T opens Teams

That's a lot of effort, don't you think?

How much did LinkedIn pay MSft for the right to put keyboard spam on my computer?

How much did LinkedIn (a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft) pay Microsoft to add a keyboard shortcut? Probably $0?

Thanks, I'll make sure to never use it to access Microsoft's Facebook
