T530 Pause/Break key
I'm looking to upgrade my aging T60p (love it, BTW), and looking at a T530.... But with the new chiclet keyboards, they seem to have lost a few keys. Unfortunately, I *need* the Pause/Break key. I have a (stupid) industry-specific program that I need to be able to use, which requires the use of the Pause/Break key.
Does anyone know if I can remap any of the system keys that remained? Perhaps there's a way though the ThinkVantage Keyboard Customizer Utility?? I'd be fine with it being a Fn-Key combo...
Thanks!

Re: T530 Pause/Break key
Pause/Break is accessible via FN combo:
Break = Fn + B
SysRq = Fn + S
ScrLK = Fn + C
Pause = Fn + P
They are not labeled on the keys, but they are there.
Break = Fn + B

Re: T530 Pause/Break key
Does anyone know if there's a Lenovo Fn shortcut for the menu key? Or do I have to Shift-F10 all the time now?

Re: T530 Pause/Break key
There is no hotkey. You have to use Shift-F10 or the right mouse button.

Don't try Fn + C for Scroll Lock: It's Fn + K
