Copilot Key Remapper

Overview

Copilot Key Remapper is a simple script designed to remap the Copilot key on modern laptops to function as a standard right Control key.
This tool is especially useful for users who prefer the traditional keyboard layout and functionality.

Why Use This Tool Instead of PowerToys or Windows Settings?

• Lighter & Faster: This script is minimal compared to PowerToys.
• One-Click Setup: No need to dig through multiple settings.
• Focused Functionality: It does one job, remapping the Copilot key reliably.

Features

• Remaps the Copilot key to the right Control key.
• Easy to use and lightweight.
• Open-source and customizable.

Download

You can download the script directly from the Releases page.

Usage

You can use this tool in two ways:

1. Run the Precompiled EXE

• Run remap_copilot_key.exe to apply the key remapping.
• This EXE is simply the official AutoHotkey runtime compiled with our script.

2. Run the Script Manually (Recommended for Security)

• Download and install AutoHotkey.
• Run remap_copilot_key.ahk by double-clicking it, or right-click and select "Run Script".

Tip: You can review the .ahk script in this repository to see exactly what it does.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/A-4-Atom/CopilotKeyRemap.git
   

2. Navigate to the directory:

   cd CopilotKeyRemap
   

3. Run the script:

   remap_copilot_key.exe
   

Auto-Start with Windows

If you want the script to run automatically every time you start your laptop:

1. Press Win + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter.
2. Copy the remap_copilot_key.exe file into the Startup folder.
3. Now the remapping will load with Windows automatically.

Troubleshooting

• Remap not working?
  Try running the script as Administrator.

• Changes not taking effect?
