Dell XPS 14 (Copilot Key → Right Ctrl)

There exists a "copilot" button between Right Alt and the left arrow. Also called the "i" key, menu key, whatever.

MS decided to make it send Left Meta + Left Shift + F23 all at once instead of just one clean keypress so traditional scancode hwdb could handel.

keyd

keyd grabs the keyboard at the evdev level, sees that exact three-key chord, and spits out a clean Right Ctrl instead.
