Windows Copilot gets a new shortcut in latest Insider build

What you need to know

• Microsoft just released Windows 11 Build 23560 to Insiders in the Dev Channel.
• The update adds the option to use Windows Copilot with the ALT + TAB shortcut.
• The addition may prove controversial as the ALT + TAB shortcut is already used to navigate between applications and browser tabs.

Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can now update their systems to Build 23560. The update includes just a single change, but it also has several fixes. The notable change is that starting with this build, it’s now possible to navigate to Windows Copilot with the ALT + TAB shortcut. Pressing ALT + TAB will show a thumbnail preview for Copilot alongside thumbnails for other Windows.

Jumping between open windows and browser tabs is already possible in Windows 11, so the interface should be familiar to many. It may prove controversial, however, as some may not want to have Copilot appear alongside other applications when using the ALT + TAB shortcut. There’s a chance that the feature will be optional, though we’ll have to see it roll out to confirm.
