T430s - remap keyboard

#1 Post by toolman_dustin » Sat Oct 26, 2013 6:23 pm

I have a new T430s. I'd like to remap the Fn and Ctrl keys (swap them).

anyone know of a way to do that. Other than this one issue, I am very pleased with the machine.
I am very impressed with the ease of use of the mouse pad.

thanks.

There should be an option in BIOS to swap these keys around, they can't be re-mapped.

I found this free product that re-defines keys.
I was not able to swap the Fn and Ctrl keys but I was able to convert the CapsLock to Left Shift.

I have a T430s, and the option to swap Fn and Ctrl is in the BIOS.

I've used something called keytweak for years. It works great --
