Which key combinations do I have to use to enter the symbols that were replaced by the Copilot key on the keyboard of my Acer (Gaming) notebook?
With the introduction of Windows Copilot, Acer added a dedicated Copilot key to the keyboards of its Aspire, Swift, TravelMate, and gaming notebooks. Consequently, some symbols on Canadian French keyboards were either moved to different keys or removed altogether if there were duplicates elsewhere on the keyboard.
