The Windows key still has plenty of relevance. I use it a lot with Aero Snap and Win+M minimises everything. Moreover, it makes it easier to access the start menu/search function. Nevertheless, this has my support as an option.

Win+R > CMD is my only use for it.
Plus I have failed countless times due to the Win key.

This has my support.

<!-- insert pun about it being a 'win' key as opposed to a 'fail' key -->

But it should be a option in osu! to disable the windows key when playing beatmaps. Not browsing through your songs, chatting, mapping, etc.
pls

I like the Windows key :< It helps me to easily switch to the Desktop and display the taskbar to see if there are any new notifications from other programs, both from full screen mode. And I never pressed it accidentally. If this feature is considered, please make it an option.

If it's just the windows key, I can block that...
I just wondering why this is still missing. o.o Peppy already aware of this...

EDIT: I use it to quit doing something else while playing multiplayer which is already failed. So I like this as an option.

Move keyboard keys to A,S

everything is better.

Like it's so miniscule that I'm neutral on it, but it seems kind of easy to fix without implementing a toggle.

Windows key is still useful, also. Especially with the way Windows 8 works, I often have to use the Windows key to access certain programs (Or it at least makes it kind of easier, since they were like "Let's hide every useful program for CDFA woo woo"

:< I need that key to move osu & windows across monitors on a whim and other window functions...
I would rather see osu! automatically pause itself on loss of focus like some games although this would only extend it's usefulness to solo. All things considered this really isn't a problem anymore since you can remap the keys, right?

I love to support this even I haven't got my stars.
But anyway, the Windows key is still very useful to many people so it shouldn't be just instantly disabled.

I'd suggest to include an option on the settings "[ ] Disable Windows key while playing a beatmap".

Not to mention my "alt" key doesn't work so I use the windows key to switch windows while osu! is on full screen. 'orz

Windows key is blocked during gameplay now. Please test this on test build to make sure it works as expected.

Test built:
uh in window mode the windows key still works but the game does not get unfocused so you can still play
in full screen you just get kicked out completly to desktop while playing

Uh? it works for me(both fullscreen and window with aero enabled)- windows key gets blocked after first circle is clicked/missed and enabled during break/pause (<3 )

Always blocked? NO(just how i feel about it~)

Good to hear. <3 Unfortunately I wasn't able to test it since my supporter tag expired. 'orz

Well I liked it because for one I have a keyboard which can disable the windows key =P
but also I used the browser as an overlay over osu, so osu wasn't completely minimized =/
