Why? Win+C launches Copilot already, if you want to use it. It's simple enough currently, why change it? This will just make everything worse.

    I can't wait to no longer find a keyboard without this key.

    because most people are unaware of keybindings and when they inevitable tap on the new dedicated key they'll probably be shown a subscription screen for Copilot Premium or whatever they call it.

    IMO it's a very disgusting and intrusive way of fishing subscriptions to the AI thing they've invested so much money on.

    In the five years of owning this phone, I have never once pressed that button on purpose. I press it on accident at least once a week.

    I have the s10+ and it's actually useful, as you can remap the double click on that button to open any app you like. But yeah single click, never happened intentionally.

    EDIT: F yeah, I just checked the settings and you can decide if you want bixby activation on single or double-click. Now I've set bixby to double click and on single-click it opens my password manager. If you don't select anything, it will do nothing on a single click.

    The setting is under "Advanced Features" -> "Bixby Key" for me.
