zbook 15 g2, how to swap Fn and Ctrl keys??

[tommls]

Lenovo does it right, the Fn is on the outside instead of the Ctrl key.

On a ZBook 15 G2, how can one swap these keys??

Thank you, Tom

Thank you for posting that, I did not see it when I was working on the BIOS earlier.

Do you perhaps know if it is possible to switch the physical keys on the keyboard after swapping them in BIOS??

Thank you, Tom

I am afraid, we cannot do that..swapping the physical keys on the Keyboard. This might end up in damaging the Keyboard or non funtionality of the same.

Feature / part request: ability to replace/change keys, ability to move around keys, ability to buy / install alternate keyboard with Fn/Ctrl key properly swapped around.

Where/how to submit??

Thank you, Tom

I checked the option in the BIOS, but this seems to have no result. I still have to press the hardware 'CTRL'-key, e.g. when I want to login to Windows. Any ideas, why this is not working?

Just to be sure that we are talking about the same subject: I would like to swap the FN key and the CTRL key on the left lower corner of my keyboard.

Thanks for your help,

Michael

Unfortunatly this is not doing what the user asked for in the original question. The option in BIOS changes the behavior of the F1-F12 keys. If activated, the "action keys" are used (volume up / down, brightnes...). If unchecked, F1 - F12 is used.

So there is still no documentation on how to swap FN and CTRL on the keyboard, which is bad since all other manufacturers (Lenovo, Apple,...) have those keys swapped, which makes it extremely confusing.
