I have a thinkpad 770z clunker laptop. The Cntrl key is not in the left
bottom corner of the keyboard (where it should be), it is one key to
the right. In place of where the Ctrl key should be is a Fn (Function)
key. I want to swap these, however, all the keyboard mapping
programs I have seen do not have a Fn key in their list of swappables.
help!
