Question Need help remapping Copilot key to the control key

[Hazy Container]

This fantastic article by apiltch isn't working on my specific Asus ProArt P16 laptop. It appears that this laptop is a bit resistant to solutions or my tech ineptitude is blocking the solution.

AutoHotKey approach​

After reading the article, I downloaded Notepad++ and installed AutoHotKey add-ons and tried +#f23:: ^. Clearly, this didn't work and further searching led to this Reddit post and the following AutoHotKey script below:

#Requires AutoHotkey >=2.0
#SingleInstance Force
*<+<#F23::Send "{Blind}{LShift Up}{LWin Up}{RControl Down}"
*<+<#F23 Up::Send "{RControl Up}"

The more complete script didn't work either. Pressing the Copilot key doesn't open the copilot. But, pressing Copilot + C doesn't copy text.

PowerToys​

While other Asus laptop owners have used Remap a shortcut in PowerToys, it doesn't work on my ProArt P16.

Windows Registry​

This may be the best way to go. I've backed up my Windows 11 registry and if anyone has step-by-step instructions that would be greatly appreciated. The best I've found so far, which don't include the Copilot Character map code can be found in Yanhong Liu's post in Windows Learn thread.

Although Registry editing is usually a last resort, your requirement may be forcing that issue.

You are aware of the risks and have backed up the Registry. That is good, however, you should be equally prepared to do a full system restore.

That said, consider using Powershell to 1) examine the relevant registry settings and 2) edit as necessary.

You can easily find other similar links and tutorials.

First explore, use Get cmdlets to discover what may already be in place with respect to CoPilot.

Look for other links to confirm the necessary sequences, e.g. , +#f23:: ^

Then add and edit the registry as applicable.

Pay close attention to characters and syntax.

Details matter.
