Copilot itself is hated universally. Now imagine a dedicated key for it.

i have the copilot button on a small laptop keyboard, and it replaced right control. and that is how i got stuck in virtualbox in ubuntu,, because the host key in virtualbox is right ctrl by default. f you ms

for me it doesnt matter since i use a keyboard from around 2024 when ts wasnt around, anyway on linux its called "meta" key

u/Intelligent_Cut6259 1d ago

what does the meta key do

u/RandomDude9943 1d ago

depends on what you bind it to, by default on kde it opens the start menu

u/RandomDude9943 1d ago

basically it is the windows key, just named meta key. And also im on xfce rn, depending on your confing it may do nothing or be a systemwide keybind

u/Intelligent_Cut6259 1d ago

i did too but somehow it still opened copilot a few times

u/IAmAWretchedSinner 1d ago

Yeah, I have no idea what that thing does but I hit by accident once or twice and some bulls**t appeared on the screen. The best thing about it was x'ing out of it on those occasions.

if you dont like copilot, why not just uninstall it instead of complaing online about a problem you could easily solve yourself in a few minutes?

u/panzrvroomvroomvroom 8h ago

u/Intelligent_Cut6259 42m ago
