Lenovo made the most non-sense decision on earth, but still there is a workaround. Thank you.
I must say it is weird decision to had these button flip by default.Even after getting a key swap it kinda bit annoying having a smaller key as the control key which is way more used.
After 6 RUclips channels I landed here fortunately. Thanks a lot
Big Thank You for solving my puzzle of the Fn and Ctrl keys.
Thanks Sir
Amazing video Brian!
I jst got an X1 and ended up on this video. I was shocked Lenovo made this no brain ridiculous decision.
But i really thank to Windows who's willing to modify its Bios, in order to pickup Lenovo's nonsense.
But the Fn key size is smaller than the Ctrl key, though 😢
Thank you this was very helpful. And I love your message "Imperfections make life beautiful and interesting"!
Thanks Scott X for the commend and feedback, I'm glad you manage to watch all the way to the end to listen to the sign off =) it's something I do live by and it really helps prevents getting temped/worked up quickly.
this helped me a lot. thanks very much!
Fantastic to hear it helped, making life just tad easier.
Was a great help for a problem that bothers me long time, thanks
Glad it was able to help, I am also not use to doing this too so I would do the swap too since I use external keyboard a lot, just easier to move between the built in keyboard and external keyboard.
Big productivity help, thank you!
Great to hear this was able to make your life a little tad easier =).
This works on ThinkPads as well. Thanks for the video!
THANKS ALOTE
Great! Even quicker is to do this via Lenovo Vantage tool. Works equally well. Thanks.
Very informative no-nonsense video. Great job!
Thank you Antti Lindman, I do my best to cut the BS out on my how to videos =) we all don't have time to waste haha.
Thank you so much
Try F12. There is also an option to switch the Fn and Ctrl key in (F12) Keyboard manager on thinkpad p1.
Thanks Dan Adventures, I will look into making a second one of this video to show how to do it via software as well.
Thanks 😊
Thanks. Short but useful
Keep doing videos!
Thanks ByZaMo64, I hope you get to enjoy some of my other videos as well.
Damn, I was so concerned to buy this machine! as financial modeller that uses excel a lot, I use the control button on the left end side. knowing that is a way to maintain my workflow, I might buy it
Other way is to connect an external keyboard that has normal ctrl key.
Thanks mate, very handy.
Thank you just fix my laptop from after a year of retraining due after the keyboard been replaced and was never same as original.
thank you man
Happy to help
Thank you :)
Your welcome, hope it makes your life easier =).
lol the exact laptop i try to swap these in this video. Thonks.
No problems at all hopefully that would make life a little easier =).
Game changer
omg, thank you!!!
Glad this could help out, not major annoyance but swapping does make it more comfortable to use it if not use to the default way Lenovo does it.
Thank you!!!!
Great Video thanks!!
No problems at all, hope that helps you when you get your X1.
thanks mate
Very welcome, you can also do this in the Lenovo Keyboard software if you have it installed and you will find it in the Control Panel.
So you switch it, but the keys are labeled the old way. is there a way to change the physical keys around too?
Would like to hear the answer for this question, thought I think not, because the keys are of different size. Mb there is an alternative keyboard of some kind, to swap the keyboard entirely
i have my lenovo x1 carbon core i5 6th but everything is grayed out in bios i mean i cant change or modify i dont know why please i need your help
Thanks bro :)
You're welcome! You can also do it in the software too which is easier now.
can i switch FN to Ctrl function key of thinkpad trackpoint 2 Bluetooth keyboard?
for some reason, this doesn't work for me. I had to update my bios for even the other two options the fn lock and f1-f12 default (not exactly sure what they were called) to show up. When I do this swap, my fn key will just become useless and I won't have a ctrl key to work with which is really frustrating. I reinstalled my windows, updated my bios, updated my drivers (including keyboard ones) and it's still doing this. Any ideas why?
On any thinkpad, in MS-Paint application Ctrl + '+' or CTRL + SHIFT + '+' does not increase eraser size, but this combination works on on-screen-keyboard. Can you explain how can we do it on normal keyboard.
Hi, will this process work on an external Apple magic keyboard as well? I'm thinking of switching the FN and Ctrl function keys on the magic keyboard which will be connected to my Lenovo laptop. Many thanks!!
Youre so cute and handsome! 😁
Thanks, first time a comment like that, you made my day! Cheers, stay safe and health Grace =).
@@BsianTech aww why am i so touched reading your reply ☺️ hope youre single tho 😁😁
On my client laptop Lenovo I have no access to BIOS and cannot install external software: is there a way to swap Fn and Ctrl?
Hi Kumbaya, without access to the BIOS and can't install software then I won't know another way to remap the keys on the keyboard unfortunately. If the computer has the Lenovo software already preinstalled the software you are after is called "Hotkey Features Integration" this is where you can swap the FN and Ctrl.
To access it you gotta go to Settings > Restore > Restart. That's how to get to the Bios but to access that grey blue screen you gotta pres Troubleshoot > Advanced and go to the thing that says UEFI something. Then you follow Bsaian's instructions.
Hope this helps, I had the same problem and now it works.
crap, my x380 yoga does not have that option
They way it is designed is better. Reaching with pinky for CTRL at the end is too far. I am not sure why people who can write with all fingers would prefer CTRL so far away.
