I’m running fedora with gnome. Has anyone had any success remapping the copilot key to something useful with this combo?
You must log in or # to comment.
It’s just triggering Super+C under the hood, you could definitely assign it to a global shortcut with Gnome’s keyboard shortcuts. You could probably also get it to work like whatever key should be there (ctrl?) with a little more effort.
This should be the top comment (if valid)
If you need a GUI tool, I use Input remapper: https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper Very straightforward to set it up, it’s available via dnf.
Fellow lemming hirak99 has a tool for that as well which should have better performance, but no GUI: https://github.com/hirak99/keyshift no prebuilt for Fedora unfortunately
Thanks, that did the trick.
Any idea how to get this to auto-run with OpenRC?

I just typed “openrc” on the search box on the issues page. People on the internet forget nowadays that you can search, and it’s quicker than waiting for an answer…
Your assumptions are poor. People sometimes ask because they are looking for advice from others. “What’s your take on this”, etc.
Plus, them asking lets others know something is possible they hadnt even thought to search for.
Nothing wrong with asking questions on sites centered around user discussions.
Donwvote and don’t answer if you think they are asking in bad faith.
There are certainly more polite ways to remind people to use the search, that’s for sure.
I didn’t think to search under ‘issues’, and just asked on here without really giving it too much thought.
How do you know your assumptions are correct? It didn’t sound that way to me. “Any idea” sounds like they have no idea, but they use the more rare init system.
I pointed in the correct direction, and it seems like they didn’t search for it, as it wasn’t in some super hidden place. The note was for future reference, as I won’t be there to search for them in the future, and life is too short for waiting for easy answers.

In X you can use xev to investigate keycodes. Idk about Wayland, but it would surprise me if there’s nothing for that yet.
You will loose your mind, but wayland version of xev is called wev.
It’s available in a lot of distros: https://pkgs.org/download/wev
🤯 😆
xevalso works in Wayland via the X11 support, so either will be fine.Confirming mind lost
I can do it in KDE
It’s just a key, right? I have Super+H remapped to open HuggingChat on my laptop, you could remap the Copilot key to that. Or Jan, if you want something local, which I have mapped to Super+J
I think they’re asking how to remap it
Settings > Keyboard > Change Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > Specific key and command (eg, jan)
Wut but microsoft co-pilot its got all the features you need like watching your screen!! And
AI productivityspyware.Me and a bud went to best buy recently and were looking at arm laptops, they look pretty rad. Minus the window stuff of course, myself and my friend pointed out how stupid the co-pilot key was. Like who is actually going to use it??? It just seems like a extra key im going to accidentally press, the equivalent of activating bixy!! NO BIXY NO STFU I DIDNT SUMMON YOU!!! I was turing on my phone!!!
Also i gotta ask is your new laptop running arm assuming it has a co-pilot key? And if so how has it been? Ive been looking into an arm laptop, but its gota run linux well. I currently have a t440p running gentoo and librebooted but the battery only lasts about 3-5 hours depending on the websites and it would be amazing to get gentoo on snapdragon laptops the battery life would be sooooo much better!
It’s not a ARM laptop. It’s a dell inspiron 16 with a amd processor. Everything worked out of the box with fedora even the fingerprint reader so I"m pretty happy with it.
good to hear the fingerprint sensors works!! i rarely hear of people using them on linux
Oh it’s even dumber when you consider recent Windows updates.
Before, Copilot was a part of the system in the form of a sidebar, then all of the sudden MSFT threw all that in the junk and replaced it with a PWA.
Like, standard ass Edge PWA. You even see the hamburger menu and address on the top right.
They didn’t even try to mask it better.Whole new key to launch a web shortcut. Lmao.
Motherfuckers couldn’t build a native app to save their lives.Lol this is exactly me. My phone has a Bixby button on the side. It would be really cool if I could map the button to something but all I can do is turn it off
Wait, you can’t remap it?
Didn’t Samsung introduce native Bixby remapping a while ago?
