The new work laptop has a Copilot button. The most offensive thing about it is the Copilot button has replaced the right Ctrl key. Remapping it with Powertoys hasn't worked. I actually use the right Ctrl key so the irony of this button promising a productivity assistant replacing an actually useful key that enhances productivity is not lost on me.

its friggin useless. Like a homebrand chatgpt. I havnt seen the new version of it yet though.

There's already a keyboard shortcut for it alt+spacebar or something. But they just had to demand manufacturers give it a dedicated button

The IT guy is cool, he might let me.

At least Lenovo had the decency to let you change the Fn and Ctrl keys in the bios when they decided to switch them around for some reason. We're probably all just stuck with the copilot key
