>>105845836 (OP)>*presses copilot key*I get where you're coming from—changes like this can feel intrusive, especially when they affect something as fundamental as your keyboard layout. The addition of the CoPilot key is part of Microsoft’s broader push to integrate AI tools more deeply into the Windows experience, but that doesn't mean everyone wants or needs it.
For many long-time ThinkPad users, keyboard consistency and utility are a big deal. Swapping in a new key that launches a feature you might never use can seem like a step backward, especially if it displaces something more valuable to your workflow.
That said, it’s worth keeping an eye on whether the CoPilot key becomes customizable in future updates. If Lenovo or Microsoft allows remapping it—either officially or through third-party tools—it could at least be reconfigured for something more useful to you.
Hopefully, feedback like yours helps push manufacturers to give users more control over their hardware and software experiences. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.
