Map CoPilot key back to Control Key

Question

I would presume there is a way to do it, but every time I ask CoPilot how to map the CoPilot keyboard key back to the right Control key it is determined to tell me how to map the CoPilot key to the right control key in the registry. It even shows I can help you map copilot to control and proceeds to give the steps to map copilot to another key.

Power Tools doesn't work on all the applications we are using so need to do it in the registry. Just need to know what hex code to use.

1. Open Registry Editor:
   • Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
   • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.
2. Create a New Binary Value:
   • Right-click on the right pane and choose New > Binary Value.
   • Name it Scancode Map.
3. Modify the Scancode Map Value:
   • Double-click on Scancode Map.
   • In the Value data field, enter the following hexadecimal value:

Update:

Nevermind it seams that after some time the copilot key goes back to "shortcut" mode anyways. So my solution is to additionally add a shortcut remap in powertoys

The solution is to first set the copilot key to "Search" in the settings (look at the screen shot). I might point out that I have uninstalled the Copilot App too, I don't know if this changes the behaviour of this process.

After this the key behaves like a key again and not like a shortcut.

Now you can remap the key using powertoys or any other tool you like. In my case I use sharpkeys, because it takes effect immediately after boot unlike powertoys which needs a few seconds to kick in.
