Thread 105690810

Fuck you /g/. I feel for the meme. They put the ctrl button on the wrong place!

>>105690810 (OP)
Just swap them in the bios you retard

>>105690810 (OP)
Why the fuck would they do that

>>105690817
Not OP but I have the old models that don't have the setting on the BIOS :(

why does the Fn key even exist?

>>105690828
Because laptops can't have hardware buttons right above the keyboard.

>>105690828
moar buttons mucho expensive

>>105690827
Swap them in the OS.

>>105690810 (OP)
Point at him and laugh!

>>105690865
Doesn't work the sizes are different :(

I have big thick sausage fingers. What in good fuck compelled them to do this?

That's actually better. Just few days for new muscle memory to kick it

>>105690828
it fns

>>105690865
I can't even detect Fn keypress in the OS.

>>105690810 (OP)
It's more ergonomic this way

>>105690865

Remap ctrl to capslock, even bigger key and it's a more comfortable position if you use it frequently.

>>105690817
now that is some prime cope

Good. Next time you'll buy a real laptop, not a mobile heater

>>105691126
it's absolutely not. I had to work on a company issue macbook in 2018 and it gave me severe carpal tunnel within weeks. I have not had that issue before or since, since using a proper keyboard

>>105690827
what old fucking models? t60? my x220 has it

>>105690828
shortcut for writing "fucking"

>>105691712
it is if you use the ten finger system. you aren't a two fingerlet now are you?

>>105691712
...Why didn't you just plug in a keyboard?

>>105691670
I already have layout on this button

>>105690810 (OP)
>Put ctrl in the wrong place
>Have to add a bios setting to swap them back
What did chinknovo mean by this?

>swap the keys in bios
>the actual keys are different sizes so you can't swap them
So close, yet so far.

>>105690810 (OP)
>not swapping capslock and control

>>105692083
If you are a human with elbows and shoulders, you can use 10 fingers, while also being capable of shifting your hand down.
With the normal keyboard layout, this results in muscle memory that expects ctrl to be on the far left corner, which makes the Lenovo layout a pain in the ass.

Retard

>>105690827
My T470s has this in the BIOS
>>105690828
It's a humiliation ritual to use the OS's volume slider instead of your keyboard's hotkeys.

>>105690810 (OP)
Fuck you OP, I don't want Emacs pinky.

i hate the thinkpad keyboard layout.

>>105690810 (OP)
You labeled it in the wrong place too. Ctrl goes where Caps Lock.

>>105690825
They even elected Merz as the chancellor, the world is over. I'm annihilating all wrongdoers. Russians are banned from Linux. Did you know that? That is what americans and europeans think is okay and the right way and totally not fascist today, but this ends now. I'm shooting you humiliation ritual addicts down. For good now. No fell for it again award for me this time. Put the people in control again!

>>105691098
Your OS doesn't allow you to remap keys? What a fucking shitshow.

You'll get used to it just like you'll get used to rubbing your nipple

>>105696453
it's humiliation ritual using laptop's keyboard
get a real keyboard and use it as dog intended

>>105699590
Well for one, my T470s has easily the nicest keyboard of any laptop I've ever used. The keys are soft around the corners, which makes my high speed zoomer peck and search typing not hurt to do, and the keys are nice and tactile enough to feel good to type on if you're used to dome keyboards. It's surprisingly nice for playing video games on as well because of this.
Second of all, why the hell would I put a whole ass second keyboard in my lap with my tiny S ThinkPad when I'm sitting in bed playing Balatro, or on the couch or in a recliner watching YouTube or tinkering with it? I take it that you don't have a full desktop, do you anon?

>>105691989
>what old fucking models? t60?
y...yes

>>105699725
I use a keychrome K8 Pro and I can use it with anything. I don't like laptops that much. I had one cheap thinkpad for university, but I no longer study so there is no point using it anymore. I just use my PC at home. If I were to make a portable setup I would buy some kind of minipc like minisforum and a cheap portable IPS screen from aliexpress. Laptops in general are more prone to failures especially gaming ones. Thinkpads are fine though. As for using the computer on the lap I've never done that, it's not ergonomic and not that comfortable. Even a laptop from work just stays connected on the desk and doesn't leave it. It's just connected to KVM switch and I don't need to fuck around with cables.

>>105690810 (OP)
It's a bios setting to swap them

>>105690817
lol

>>105690810 (OP)
This triggers me so much, I've got a stinkpad and I hate that the Fn key is right next to the Ctrl key

>>105690810 (OP)
i just want you to know that looks like a yellow chode from the catalog

>>105690810 (OP)
I've been hitting my Fn key a lot looking for the Ctrl key on this keyboard.

It's probably because I've been using a MacBook a lot lately and I switched back to my normal Windows laptop for today.

>>105690810 (OP)
Doesn’t really fix it because you can’t set Fn to anything custom. It’s just in a slightly worse bad spot

>>105699846
then flash a custom bios?

Got no complaints. Just bought a new backlit KB for my 2nd hand L590.

>>105690827
you didn't buy a thinkpad

>>105702312
>Got no complaints.

You are supposed to say "Works on my computer".

I swear, fucking newfags need to lurk moar nowadays.

>>105702703
That's just for software.

>>105691681
This. Why not put it in the right place ?

>>105690817
FPBP once again.

>>105696292
so you just gave yourself carpal tunnel instead?

>>105702312
I have some serious complaints about your UI

>he doesn't navigate with the FN key when he gets lazy
