Sorry, you're right!
Mu laptop is a PackarBell EasyNote E4718 and I'm using Windows XP home edition. So the main problem is that I cannot detect its scan-/vkcode. I have tried with vkFFsc163 but it doesn't work with the scripts that I have read in this topic.
Any sugestion?
Thx |

|
|
This is about the most frustrating thing I've ever run into. I'm trying to buy a new computer, had one picked out, and it turns out the ctrl key and fn key are switched. This is a major problem with the software I use for my job. I have since discovered that every damn, brand new, top of the line computer has this very issue. I've researched clevo(compal, sager), asus, msi, xxodd, quanta, every manufacturer I could find. Several 17" nb had the normal config, but I'm looking for a 15.4" and just can't find one with a normal layout. I discovered
http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/
which solves this problem for MACs however, I can't locate an equivalent for the p.c. Can anybody help me? I'm at the end, and just want a normal keyboard. (Side note, I know about key mapping- and at the novice level it can't be done, this needs somebody serious. also know that asus g1 has normal config... but it's hundreds more than comparable comps) Thanks to anyone who can help! |

I have HP 6715b notebook and there is a option to swap ctrl and fn key.
Swap the functions of the fn key and left ctrl key.

keyboard layout is one of my prime factors in a laptop purchase. Granted I haven't bought since Jan, but I have liked the keyboard layout from HP, Sony, and Dell.
HP dv9010us (17" bought in Jan 07)
HP 65xx 15.4" from 3 yrs ago
Sony Vaio v505 12" from 3 yrs ago
Dell Latitude series (various timeframes and sizes)
all were ok for me.
Note I am also picky about the enter key, the Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn block, the \ key, ~ and a few others.
my IBM Thinkpad T41 is backwards

I am also trying to buy a asus notebook, and find that many notebooks that match my needs have the keyboard layout messed up, i.e. fn on the fart left, and not the ctrl key.
If anyone has a way to switch these keys, that'll be great! |

Dotoshi: can you use your code to make Fn work as control? And if, how?'
Cheers, Johan |
