    How do I switch fn and Ctrl


    Now I have used ThinkPad for practically all my life now, but with my newest laptop, it's a Hp. One of the greatest things bothering me so far is that the Ctrl key and the fn key is normal, unlike ThinkPad. For 2 months I have tried to get used to it but couldn't. So

    Can someone please give me a step by step guide on how to switch the keys. Thanks

    I think you change it in bios, but I'm not sure how

    CTRL, FN, and On Keyboard volume keyes not working.

    My on keyboard volume keys are F1-F3. Generally to activate F1-F3 I need to press Fn, and otherwise, it works as volume. How did these get switched and how do I fix and prevent this in the future. Another thing is, the CTRL button isn't working. I can
    use it to copy and paste, but It doesn't always do it right away and then If I play certain games that require CTRL to run, the character still moves as if I weren't clicking it.

    Microsoft All-in-one Media keyboard: is it possible to switch Fn button into right Ctrl?

    Same as in title, I would like to use FN button as right Ctrl button as there is only left Ctrl button on this keyboard, is this possible? Are there any ways to do it or workarounds?

    How do I switch fn and Ctrl

    keyboard hotkeys with ctrl partially working


    The shoth answer is NO
    Test results with two languages: English and Hebrew; leftAlt+shift set as sequential switch
    I can set English to any ctrl+<num> and it will always switch correctly from Hebrew to English (and disable chrome tab switch for that <num>

    No ctrl+<num> or ctrl+shift+<num> or (with disabled sequential) leftAlt+shift+<num> allows to switch to Hebrew. The only mean available to me to have Hebrew is the leftAlt+shift sequential shift

    The long answer is that Surprisingly, yesterday I could switch *once* to Hebrew with ctrl+<a num which I don't remember>
