    It seems that adding new keys to keyboard is not something you can do easily, as there are some standards to follow (eg. ISO). Those shortcuts are hacks meant to bypass those rules, so they can put office, linkedin, etc. (and soon copilot) keys on certain PCs. In other words, instead of making a special key in the standard, they can just bind those shortcuts to their special keys.

      And thankfully it’s not something like Win+W for word, Win+E for Excel.

      I haven’t dug into it lately but it should be a registry key that can be modified to run a local app or anything else you want but I’d just use a keyboard setting on a shortcut or autohotkey before I went that route
