I don't even use it in any program. It's not like I use it to get out of game on ROBLOX. And this is why I am in the asylum

Because the key was there first and then they made windows which is why windows has that key, i'm pretty sure i'm right here but idk why we still have that key

@Sceptihawk Yeah, it was there before Windows. In Windows it's used for the Command Prompt or Powershell, and you can switch to them with Alt+Tab, which is used by many programs nowadays as well. But it seems pretty pointless now, and I'd rather have it replaced by something more useful. Like an Insert key or Delete key. And this is why I am in the asylum

It could be called whatever they want, but it doesn't matter. It's still useless. And this is why I am in the asylum

The fact that you think that it doesn't matter, shows that you don't understand history.

I'm not talking about history, I'm talking about the present day. And this is why I am in the asylum

It's an important part of history and i dont see the point of removing it when it's used in many things today.

There are already tons of keys that serve no purpose. Remove them instead. Or make a new key for something useful. And this is why I am in the asylum

And also, it's not as if Windows or ROBLOX can't just remove it with a software update. And this is why I am in the asylum

No they wouldn't complain. If anything, they'd be happy they finally have some use out of those extra keys they had to waste space on their keyboard for. And this is why I am in the asylum

I dont think they'll remove it because its used by windows and roblox, and i dont see any other way around it so i guess i lost this argument so yeah, thanks for arguing with me for no reason

It's not like I'm against history. But you just got mad because I was suggesting something that could make things better. And you didn't even give an argument, you just kept saying that it's useless because it wasn't invented in the present day. And this is why I am in the asylum

You don't understand, you cant remove anything from windows because windows would break

But they can add things to Windows. Like what ROBLOX did with the F11 key. It doesn't affect the program itself, but it's still a good feature for people. And this is why I am in the asylum

Yeah but roblox can do whatever they want, so yeah if you actually think about it they can do whatever they want because they're a company and they can do whatever they want but yeah

Then why not replace some other key like the tilde with the Insert or Delete keys? Or maybe add some new keys instead? And this is why I am in the asylum
