Repilot

Remap the Windows 11 Copilot key to do what you want — a keyboard shortcut, an app or link, or a built-in Windows function.

Download Repilot from the Microsoft Store

Repilot lets you choose what your keyboard's dedicated Copilot key (or Windows logo key + C) does, using the official Microsoft "Copilot hardware key provider" path — so it appears right in Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Keyboard → Customize Copilot key.

No background service. No wasted resources. Nothing runs while you wait for the key — there's no always-on service, no tray icon, and no startup task sitting in memory or burning CPU/battery. When you press the key, a tiny handler runs your action in a fraction of a second and exits. The settings app only runs while you have it open. Idle footprint: zero.

What the key can do

  1. A custom shortcut — record any chord, including system ones like Alt+Tab.
  2. An app, file, or link — pick from a searchable list of installed apps, or enter any path or URL.
  3. A Windows function — choose from a curated, searchable catalog (Task View, snap, lock, Snip & Sketch, Magnifier, and more).
  4. Nothing — quietly disable the key.

Installing

  1. Get Repilot from the Microsoft Store — it installs and stays up to date automatically.
  2. Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Keyboard → Customize Copilot key → Custom → Repilot.
  3. Open Repilot from the Start menu to choose what the key does. You can also check for updates from the About page.

You'll see two Start entriesRepilot (the settings app) and Repilot Key (which runs your assigned action). Both are expected: Windows only lets you pick visible apps for the Copilot key, so the key handler needs its own entry.

Requirements

  • Windows 11 (build 22621 or newer), with a Copilot key — or use Windows logo key + C.
