Sometimes when I work on Thinkpads/MSI laptops, the Ctrl and Fn key are swapped (Fn being the leftmost key), and it drives me nuts – I keep hitting Fn instead of Ctrl.
I was wondering if it’s at all possible to intercept the Fn key. I’d like to write a hook that swaps the Ctrl / Fn keys, but it seems that Fn is not being processed by the OS at all.
Any ideas?
Sorry. As you mentioned, the Fn key isn’t processed by the OS, but received as tuples of Fn + [key] . The best you could probably do would be mapping every Fn + [key] combination to ctrl (and that’s only if you never use Fn keys).
Edit: Found this. Before you give up hope, might want to give it a try.
