> 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.
