Key workaround
Monday, December 29, 2008
When I was buying Lenovo ThinkPad T61, I was not aware of swapped Fn and Ctrl keys on its keyboard nor how much pain that would cause me. They placed Fn key were Ctrl should be. Needless to say that it caused numerous errors, where instead of Ctrl I would hit the misplaced Fn key.
I have found a satisfactory workaround that I want to share. I have sticked a piece of scotch tape on top of the Ctrl key. It gives me sensory feedback. It seems to have done the trick; I no longer inadvertently hit Fn key.
Note: originally I tried sticking it on top of Fn key, but for some reason it didn't work for me.
And one more thing, lenovo sux.
