Reusing Copilot Key (on HP Zbook Ultra G1a)

Raw

copilot_keyd.md

The Copilot key does nothing in linux and takes up a lot of space on the keyboard. I remapped mine using keyd to window overview (win+w)

Add repo:sudo dnf copr enable alternateved/key
Install keyd: sudo dnf install keyd
Edit configuration: sudo nano /etc/keyd/default.conf

# Maps the windows copilot key to change virtual desktops
# leftmeta+leftshift+f23 = macro(leftcontrol+leftmeta+right)

# Maps the windows copilot key to overview
leftmeta+leftshift+f23 = macro(leftmeta+w)

# Maps the switch video mode (projector) / F1 key to change virtual desktops
switchvideomode = macro(leftcontrol+leftmeta+right)

(other config options can be found online)
4. Enable the service: sudo systemctl enable keyd
