How do I map a proprietary key to control?

I bought a new laptop with a key that does some special weird thing in windows. It’s between right alt and the arrow keys, so I’d like to map it to right control.

I analyzed it in keyd and wev, and the key identifies as RSuper + RShift + F23. How can I make this emit RControl?

@j4s0n ,
Google suggests the following:
yay -S keyd
sudo systemctl enable keyd --now
Put the following in /etc/keyd/default.conf:
A post festam Edit (tested variant/version):

[ids]

*

[main]
meta = layer(meta)
shift = layer(shift)

[meta+shift]
f23 = rightcontrol

sudo keyd reload

Are we talking the co-pilot key?

I have been extremely unsuccessful in my attempts to remap it :frowning:
I use keyd extensively, even sought help on the github issues page, nothing worked.

As @eso notes, you can find guidance here…

… Where it is also noted that another more complex solution may be constructed via kmonad which may help @xircon out. :vulcan_salute:

It is that key. I spent a couple hours with ChatGPT last night modifying keyd config files. I’ll try that page @ArchieLinux suggested.

I figured out the issue. ChatGPT told me that I could omit the [ids] block if I wanted it to apply to all keyboards. That is not correct. To apply to everything, the block needs to be there with a *.

When asked who was the leader of Denmark, an AI bot told me that Queen Margrethe had died and that her son Frederik became King as a result. In fact, she’s doing just fine, thank you very much. :roll_eyes:
