Tip: Remap the co-pilot key
I tried getting used to the co-pilot key for several weeks, but the key launched/executed accidently more often than not. It's easy enough to launch the app manually if I really want to, I'd rather the key work as a right ctrl key.
You can easily customize it via PowerToys.
First download/install PowerToys for ARM: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
The copilot key on your keyboard isn't a single key input; it's actually a shortcut. When you press the copilot key, it signals the shortcut "Windows+Shift+F23."
In PowerToys Keyboard Manager Tool use the Remap a Shortcut feature. This way, when you click select and press copilot, the feature can hold all 3 inputs associated with that button ("Windows+Shift+F23"). Then in the To Send section, you click select "Ctrl (Right)", or any other key/setting. Click okay, and your copilot key should now function with your new remapping.
FYI, Microsoft is currently testing a built-in Copilot key remapping feature in the Insider Preview channels:
Although currently, only MSIX-packaged apps are supported.
nice! I find that button pretty useless as well.
The hero we needed
Is there any way to remap the shortcut of the Copilot key to launch the corporate version of the application rather than the one for home users?
With the change of Copilot for Work now sitting at m365.cloud.microsoft and the key defaulting to the other/normal URL.
this is awesome! thank you.
This doesn't work as I would expect it to.
If I remap it to control, then try to use the new fake-control key in other remappings, it's still registered as shift+win+f23. Sure it doesn't trigger copilot, and it sends the control signal, but it can't actually be used as a control key (as a modifier in othe keybindings/shortcuts).
Heh, interesting, my keyboard can do F13 to F24 by using Fn + an F key, and I opened copilot by using the shortcut, TIL
thank you so much! i'd been trying to remap it with PowerToys but I used the key remapping instead of shortcut remapping, which didn't work.
Anyone get this to work with the emoji keyboard?
Fantastic, been trying to get this to work for a week now. Thanks!
