Update on Remapping the Copilot Key

Posted on Feb 10, 2025

Copilot Keyboard

My last post was not entirely accurate. Turns out, my solution barely worked because the CoPilot key is actually a shortcut for multiple keys! Thank you JustTesting on Eleven Forum for figuring out a real solution.

Still using PowerToys, find the Keyboard Manager utility and select “Remap a shortcut”.

Remap a shortcut

Next, click on the “Add shortcut remapping” button in the new window, then:

  1. Click the pen icon, make sure you have toggle the “cascade” switch and hit the CoPilot key
  2. Make sure the action is set to “Send Key/Shortcut” and set the key to left control
  3. Make sure the target is all apps

Configure your shortcut

That should be all it take to replace your CoPilot key with control.
