The new Copilot key is just a shortcut to a web app.

    Microsoft hasn’t explained why it’s changed Copilot from a more integrated experience in Windows to just a web app that can no longer control Windows settings.

    So like, were the editors just asleep for the past month or what?

      It’s probably just a version of the “Office key” that would simulate pressing like 5 modifiers (that’s where the Ctrl+Alt+Win+…+L opening LinkedIn comes from), but includes a final key. Windows might make it a pain to do, but on other OS’s you could bind that key to whatever you want.
