Why would you get used to it instead of just swapping the two keys?


the bios swapping of "fn" and "left control" on my x121 had its own problems (it was a bit strange, sometimes the remapped fn key didn't actually behaved like a real control key). so i switched back to the original behavior and learned to deal with it.

a hardware hack would be cool :) letting the fn key electrically do the same thing as the ctrl key and for the rare use of fn use the capslock-key for it :)


Well, I shared my laptop with others, so they'd get really confused when I remapped the keys.

If only you could swap the keycaps too.
