Yippee. I can get rid of that bloody capslock key. It’s nothing but a pain. There are half a dozen extra keys I want on my keyboard. A ± and → key for starters. Ideally a key that switches to bold, to italic, to greek italic text, to superscript, to subscript.
Lots of keys on my keyboard remain totally unused. Insert, end, pause/break, scroll lock, and the entire numeric keypad for starters. The second shift key, all but three of the function keys are available.
Only trouble is that I have light-up keys that glow in the dark. How to customise them.
IIUC, Unix has allowed keymapping since the very earliest days.

Bulk image resizer – yes please.
Ditto bulk file renamer.
Better search facility – yes.
FancyZones.
In Windows 3.11, I setup my desktop divided into zones. One zone for image/multimedia applications, one for shortcuts to active documents, one for word/excel/powerpoint/notepad/wordpad/calculator, one for personal+games, one for browsers+google_earth, one for utilities. That’s something I really missed when it was lost in going to Windows XP.
All these ought to come standard, not be bolt on extras. Calling them “toys” is a travesty, they’re utilities.

Better search facility?
In what way better?
I find searching my local drives from File Explorer fast and the results are usually much better than searching on-line (because my local drives only have stuff I’m interested in).
I use Total Commander for most of my file management needs, but if I need to search for text within a file, or even to search a whole disk for a specific file name, the File Explorer search is way better.
But you do need to switch on file indexing.

Yes. Besides all they are doing is testing beta versions.
