An increasing number of new laptops come with a Copilot key that you might want to remap. Follow these steps to do so:

Start a shell with keyd available <code>nix-shell -p keyd</code> to monitor what the Copilot key does and see your keyboard id. From that shell, run <code>sudo keyd monitor</code> and press the Copilot key.
