How to Disable or Enable Copilot Quick View Shortcut on Windows 11
The Copilot Quick View shortcut in Windows 11 opens Microsoft’s built-in AI assistant when you press the Alt + Spacebar keys together. Microsoft added this keyboard shortcut in recent versions of Windows 11 to give you fast access to chat tools and text generators without using a mouse.
