    Standard procedure, no? We used to map non-standard keys back in the days. I’d probably map it to Super and use it for my key combinations for my most used software.

      Until you realize that cannot be done. Since they completely fd up the f-ing pos key.

      In short, pressing the key you get several key down and key up events. Letting go of the copilot key will produce no events.

      You cannot in any sensible way map this to any modifier key. Unless you set some kind of timer, which will never produce the exact same result but something a bit like it.

      The page doesn’t even mention copilot key, which is a clisterf*ck and not mappable by normal means. There is no key up event when letting go, instead there are several key down and key up events when pressing it down. This makes it almost impossible to use as a modifier key for example.
