Can Fn + c/v be mapped to copy/paste?

I don't care for the Fn in the lower left but can this simply be addressed with software to map Fn+c to Copy and Fn+v to Paste? Or maybe more specifically Fn+c mapped to "Ctrl+c"?

 

I think the FN key is hardwired like that.

In my opinion you will get use to it quickly.

 

On my desktop I had a logitech G15 gaming keyboard shown here



Countless times I would reach for the lower left of the keyboard and hit the G16 key instead of CTRL. This keyboard's left key section is much more exaggerated in distance from the rest of the keys compared to the placement of the Fn key. So, I guess what i'm trying to say is I'm not hopeful I will get use to it. I ended up packing the G15 away in favor of a basic layout Keytronic keyboard.

 

No, the Fn key is hardwired. No BIOS options to change it around either. And no Thinkpad keyboards have the two keys swapped (and there probably won't be in the near future), so you can't replace the keyboard. You'll just have to get used to it.

 

Oh man I just stumbled upon this nbr thread through google

It is the definitive Fn key 'debackle' rant! I was thoroughly amused.

 

There is one way I know of. It's a bit unorthodox, but it should work. This is the only technique I have found. I really should patent the idea, but for now I'll share my little secret with my fellow NBR community. Ok, here's what you need to do.

1) Disable the fn key. Either physically, or using software. I can't provide details on the software bit, but physically you need to remove the fragile hardware underneath the key.
2) Next, take off both the adjacent CTRL and fn keys and 'join' them together. You can use glue, or fuse a thin piece of plastic to each key. This can be done on either the top, side, or bottom of the keys. Another suggestion is to simply replace both keys with one larger one. Perhaps a spare left-shift key, or a piece of thin wood which you can whiddle into the proper shape.
3) Reattach you new super-key to the laptop. Voila, you now have a newly mapped fn key. Sure, you will lose the functionality of the fn keys after this mod, but you'll have you handy-dandy new pseudo-mapped fn key.

You can thank me with your praise and rep. I am happy to make this an official thread upon request (only under the promise that it will get stickied).

 

Whiddled wood mod!

Why on earth would you recommend/doing this yourself? I find the function keys super useful and don't need to open the appropriate program to do said functions...is the positioning that bad? I'm a gamer too and I just got used to it...

 

Ah, I was just kidding, man. This was just to poke fun at all the complainers out there. Obviously the best course of action is to get used to the positioning.
