    I use Linux so I didn't care about copilot stuff. But recently at work I got dell workstation. It costs around 5k usd. The specs are great. But it has single Ctrl key on the left side, copilot button took its place. I can't jump between words with one hand, I have to press Ctrl with my left hand, and use arrow keys with right hand. This single choice made the machine piece crap

      I have a laptop with a copilot key, this maps it to right Ctrl on Linux. How well it works depends on how your specific keyboard implements the Shift+Meta+F23 keypress so your mileage may vary. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mishoo&#x2F;exorcise-copilot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mishoo&#x2F;exorcise-copilot
