How to remap the Copilot key on your keyboard to something more helpful

TL;DR

Pressing the Copilot key on your laptop keyboard launches Copilot. But whether or not you use Microsoft's AI, you can remap the key to trigger a different feature.

Nauti's Take

Being able to remap a hard-wired vendor key is more than cosmetics — it hands a bit of hardware control back to the user. The limit stays visible though: the key remains on the device, and Microsoft keeps seeding AI entry points across the OS.

Anyone working in Windows all day gains a genuine shortcut here; for everyone else it stays a nice detail.
