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?
    Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R to reload the script instantly.

  • Antivirus warning?
    Some antivirus programs may flag AutoHotkey scripts.
    Download only from the official releases or run the .ahk file with AutoHotkey.

  • Still not working?
    Restart your computer.

  • Key behaving strangely?
    Remove the file from the Startup folder and restart.
