Remapping COPILOT KEY into Right Control Key. HP OmniBook 7 AI Laptop

Two ways of remapping didn't work:
1. Xmodmap(xev) utility. The Copilot key code and keysym showed 50 Shift_L and 201 XF86Assistant, like two keys pressed for one Copilot Key. Created .Xmodmap (.xmodmaprc) file and entered remappings, keycode 201 = Control_R. But it didn't work.
2. keyd package. The Copilot key code and keysym showed 105 ISO_Level3_Shift. Did everything as instructed, created the file personal.map and entered remappings, keycode 105 = Control. Saved the file in folder /usr/local/share/kbd/keymaps and etc. But it didn't work.
I also tried many other configuration options, but still I couldn't make it work.
Any tips and suggestions are highly apprectiated,
Thank you

Are you on Wayland? Because the only key remapper that worked for me, on Wayland is Input Remapper

The Copilot key code and keysym showed 105 ISO_Level3_Shift

105 *is* the right control key…

sudo libinput debug-events

and press the "copilot" key and post the output.
