Can you take a screenshot? Are you remapping a key or shortcut?

right now this sounds like you want to do a shortcut.

hi crutkas,
many thx for quick reply.
Your comment makes me realize I didn't understand all functionnalities of Keyboard Manager.
Problem between keyboard and chair.
I finally succeed to remap the copilot key to right ctrl using "remap a shortcut". :)
I'm closing the issue.
sorry for the noise

No worries. Glad to help.

Here is a q, what could have helped make it more clear?

[biteuljiouce]

Let me explain what I was trying to do :
I wanted to remap the "copilot" key to "right ctrl".

So I first concentrate my effort on "Remap a key" (seems the most logical to me ;) ).

"copilot" key was identified as F23, I sent it to "right ctrl".
But it didn't work.
got the warning : the following key do not have assignments
I thought that it was the cause why it didn't work. (mistake #1)
So I tried to remap a "random" combo of keys to F23, not to left it unassigned.
For that, I tried to use "Remap a key" again (mistake #2) ... without success ... thus my post.

Reading your answer, I tried "remap a shortcut", always to remap a "random" combo of keys to F23, not to left it unassigned. (mistake #2b)
Doing so, I noticed that "copilot" key was identify as : win(left) shift(left) F23.

So I finally delete all my useless remapings, and tried :
remap a shortcut : win(left) shift(left) F23 -> ctrl(right)
\o/

remarks :

1. I could not guess that the "copilot" key was in fact a shortcut.
2. I should have read the help more carefully. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager)
3. I didn't get that "shortcut" means "multi key combinaison"
4. I'm not a native english, but I prefer to use my software in english because translations can be so bad. But sometimes I missed some point.
