EXAMPLE: Copilot opening to "Full Window" or "Quick View"
Here's How:
1 Open the Copilot app.
2 While in full view, click/tap on the Account button on the sidebar, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)
3 Under Copilot Keyboard Shortcuts settings, select Full Window (default) or Quick View in the Single Press drop menu for what you want. (see screenshot below)
If you customized the Copilot key on keyboard to open anything other than the Copilot app when pressed, then the Single Press and Press and hold settings will be grayed out.

4 Click/tap on the Back arrow button to exit Copilot settings.
That's it,
