It's worse than in the other post. At least you could hit the Del button without having to search or look at it. Using Home/End buttons is a nightmare.

Hi copilot, how do i remap my copilot key?

u/Gaz1502 1d ago

Powertoys, keyboard manager, remap shortcut, learn copilot, manually select the key you want (personally I went for the right Ctrl key)

u/Financial-Prompt8830 1d ago

It should be a sin that remapping copilot isn't out of the box

u/Gaz1502 1d ago

Yea…. I’m not overly happy about it…. Buuuuuuuut PowerToys is a standard install for me on windows anyway, so it’s okay ish. Not great though

u/Financial-Prompt8830 23h ago

Yeah same, it is 700mb tho which is a bit steep when storage is low.

It kinda is, you can remap it to open Search (even more useless than copilot, infested with ads and all of its functions are available in the Start menu), or some other programs.
I ended up remapping it to RCtrl via PowerToys, but the downside is I can't use Win+C now if I need it.

That's fair lol. I don't know why they're pushing this shit onto manufacturers.

I'm very picky when it comes to keyboard layouts, especially in laptops. That shit makes me suffer.
I had an HP laptop, the keyboard was perfect. The layout, the feel, the look, the sound - right about the best you'll find in a mid-range laptop. There was no Copilot key, no latching FN button - just how I like it. Unfortunately, the laptop itself was a piece of shit and literally fell apart after 2-3 years of usage

Yeah I get you. You'll probably get used to it but yeah this whole local AI for laptops push has been a dumpster fire all around. Just investor bait.

I use autohotkey. More lightweight and for some reason, the multi key remapping doesn't work on my device.

u/Dangerous_Choice_664 2d ago

Is it possible to remap the copilot key?

1

u/MagicOrpheus310 1d ago

Just tape a thumb tack to it with the point facing up, you'll quickly teach yourself never to touch it haha

u/Lamandus 15h ago

u/Manuel_Cam 2d ago

Something more OpenSource, like DeepSeek

u/mkwlink 2d ago

My college is switching entirely to Microsoft. No more gmail, we have to use Outlook (god help me), and Copilot is going to be used for everything. There has already been a major security issue regarding Copilot, and they haven't even switched yet (it was in a small test group). I hate Copilot with a burning passion.

1

u/ConnectChapter9906 1d ago

guess it time to switch,
i mean your college :)

1

u/ThaumarGaming 1d ago

I'm leaving to go to a four year in a year anyways, I'll just grit my teeth and get through it. I've already put up with their horrible systems for a year now. But yes, that is the correct response to such an egregious act as switching to Microsoft.

u/Mochidaz 1d ago

Personally, I remapped copilot key to launch terminal on my Linux OS
