thewayneIt was announced a while back that the new standard PC keyboard would now have a Microsoft Copilot key on it that would launch Microsoft's AI/LLM assistant. A new developer build has been released that allows that key to be remapped for other functionality than to launch Copilot, presumably one such option is to make it a dead key entirely in the event of accidental strikes.
If your keyboard does not have this key, running this remap doesn't do anything.
I've seen the Copilot key in the wild, but a lot of the third-party keyboards still don't have it. Knowing that I can turn it off is a nice thing for me. I have used Copilot before, it's mildly useful and nice that you don't have to sign in to it like ChatGPT. But I find the image generator to be useless for creating comics.
