scroll lock (never understood what this one even did!)

I utilize the Windows key every day. So many short-cut commands...

I also pound scroll lock every day, to switch between computers on the KVM. Its original intent, to lay your mind at rest, was used mostly in spreadsheet applets, it kept the active cell active while pressing the arrow keys and instead scrolled the entire spreadsheet

The 'menu' key, I guess you mean the right-click key. Most useful when you don't have a mouse for one reason or another, or when you need to move a window that is otherwise stuck in no-desktop-space-land.

The insert and caps lock key I do understand though. Get rid of those.

I'm pretty sure n0cmonkey doesn't run windows.

I assumed he would deal with Windows at some point or another during his day/week. I don't know what kind of job he has.

Is this not the obvious reason?

BTW- I actually like and use the windows key.....

Why would you get rid of insert, I use that all the time, I mean I guess you can get the same outcome with other methods but that doesn't mean I should have to do that.

Ah well. To each their own.

I made all the F-Keys do nothing, re-mapped the other keys and then I disabled the software. Now they all do nothing. :heart: Except for the volume/mute keys, those still work (and come in handy sometimes). Logitech Elite, btw.
