Product: Spectre x360 15"
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

How come there is no right Ctrl key on Spectre x360 15" ?

This is discriminatory for left handed users. How are we supposed to select multiple entities using touchpad (with our left hand) while holding the only available Ctrl key (on the far left of the keyboard) ? 

As I do not expect HP to replace my laptop keyboard, is there a way to "re-program" "alt-gr" key yo behave as "Ctrl" key ?

Regards

Thank you for your idea but I could not find any corresponding setting in BIOS. 

However, it appears that "alt gr" key (on the right of space bar) behaves as Ctrl key when it comes to multiple selection. It is "ok-ish" but HP might want to consider smaller "shift" keys to leave space of a true right "Ctrl" key.

Apart from that, my Spectre 15 x360 gives me entire satisfaction.

You can see if it can be changed in the BIOS?
