| Remap Infinix Air Pro+ Copilot Key in Linux | Re-using Copilot key for something else more useful | 2025-03-01T22:41:32+07:00 | false |

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
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:
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, andf23. 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 modifiermetaandshift.
keyd for the rescue
Edit /etc/keyd/default.conf file and I added these lines:
[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 show/hide toggle.
