I’m running fedora with gnome. Has anyone had any success remapping the copilot key to something useful with this combo?

    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.

          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.

    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

    Wut but microsoft co-pilot its got all the features you need like watching your screen!! And AI productivity spyware.

    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!

      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.

      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

      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.
