Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

    Nice so I can remap it to something useful… unless they’re jerks and the keyboard isn’t sending a key but a combo like that useless “office” key that they tried and failed years ago

      Well, if the picture is representative of an expected outcome, you don’t get a new key, you get to trade in the right ‘ctrl’ key for it.

        Ugh so in that case I would need to remap to ctrl

        Hope it tanks as all the major Microsoft “innovations “

      why not remap existing keys? the Copilot key is probably replacing the right control key, which I use it for multiple keybindings that use control + a letter on the left side of the keyboard.

      We already have a ton of modifier keys: Meta or Super, Alt, Shift and Control. And you can also remap Caps Lock to be another one if you don’t use it.

      Personally, I like to remap Caps Lock to Super, for easier and quicker access to keybindings. I find the privileged position of Caps Lock in the keyboard absurd and rather useless.
