+> Since I'm moving to Linux, my Copilot key becomes useless. 
+
+Let me rephrase that! Even when I was using Windows, I never using this Copilot shortcut key in my keyboard 😬. Fortunately, using Linux I can remap this key for something else ~~more useful~~.
+
+# Requirements
+- A laptop (I'm using Infinix Air Pro+) with a working keyboard.
+- [keyd](https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd)
+
+# Finding what this Copilot key do
+- Open your favorite terminal and execute `sudo keyd monitor`. This command will print what events are triggered when a particular key is pressed.
+- Press the Copilot key and read the output. In my laptop, it print out this:
+
+```bash
+AT Translated Set 2 keyboard  0001:0001:70533846  leftmeta down
+AT Translated Set 2 keyboard  0001:0001:70533846  leftshift down
+AT Translated Set 2 keyboard  0001:0001:70533846  f23 down
+```
+
+- Now I know that my copilot key triggers `leftmeta`, `leftshift`, and `f23`. It's seem legit combination of modifier keys and a function key. But unfortunately when I tried to use it in my desktop environment (I use KDE) to bind a shortcut, it only detect the modifier `meta` and `shift`.
+
+# `keyd` for the rescue
+Edit `/etc/keyd/default.conf` file and I added these lines:
+
+```plaintext
+[ids]  
+0001:0001:70533846  
+  
+[main]  
+f23 = f13
+```
+
+`ids` is my keyboad ID, and the last line tells to remap `f23` key to `f13` (which is doesn't exist physically). Then reload `keyd` with `sudo keyd reload`. Now I can bind my Copilot key to something else. I'm using it for [yakuake](https://github.com/KDE/yakuake) show/hide toggle.
