Update on Remapping the Copilot Key


My last post was not entirely accurate. Turns out, my solution barely worked because the CoPilot key is actually a shortcut for multiple keys!

Can You Export A C Header from Zig?


You used to be able to export a C header when building a library with Zig, but as of Zig v0.12 you can’t anymore.
