Hi,

I just bought a Thinkpad T60 that comes with a FN-Key located where usual keyboards put the CTRL key. Now I wondered if anybody has been lucky to switch FN with CTRL using AutoHotkey?

Thanks in advance!
Ben

PS: I know http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic29 ... e3d7c562f2 but it did not help me at all :(

Code:
vkFFsc163::Send, n
That works to send the character 'n'. But I wasn't successfull to send CTRL via the FN-key in combination with eg. C/V/X (copy/cut/paste). :?

Yep I noticed. I think its somewhat harder to simulate a real modifier key that is used in combination with another key. Is AutoHotkey even able to do this?

Check the help. Might be of interest. Good luck. 8)

Hm, I tried but doesnt seem to make much of a difference:

#HotkeyModifierTimeout 100

vkFFsc163::Send, {LCtrl}

This seems to be specific to the FN key or keys like it. This works fine for a 'regular' key:

Code:
SendMode Input
z::Send {Ctrl Down}
z up::Send {Ctrl Up}


Successfully maps the z key to ctrl, but with vkFFsc163 it doesn't work the same...

Yep, same here. Works for the z-key, but not Fn. How annoying :(

Any news on the topic? I tried to switch FN and Left Ctrl on a lenovo Z61m, but could not get it to work. Does anyone know if you can buy replacement keyboards for these things with the right order of the keys?

Just on a related note; you might find IBM's tool "Keyboard Customizer" useful for getting a WinKey and Application Key (sacrificing e.g. AltGr and Right Ctrl). However, it does not help you remap Fn :(

I don't know if IBM/Lenovo has managed to put a Win-key on the newer X-series, but at least on my fossil X31, they weren't there. The Keyboard Customizer helped me for a long time, but had some interference with Autohotkey. See more in my post here;
