What's more confusing is that on my laptop pressing the copilot key only sends the key down events and releasing sends the corresponding key up events, which makes it actually usable as a modifier key without resorting to weird timers.
Good for you! From what I hear the implementation and seemingly also key combo can vary. I read an article about someone using timers so that's all I can say about that. I'm staying away from anything with a copilot key so I don't have any experience myself.
