That can be switched in bios.
I haven’t had any WiFi issues on Ubuntu that require turning it off and back on. The author seems to be using arch.
- kramerger 4y agoI wish we could choose one layout and then keep to it. I mean, I am all open to an EU law here and I'm an not even joking. Update: calm down, I only meant the Fn and Ctrl positions :)
- taeric 4y agoI don't know if I want to switch back to qwerty, at this point. :D
- orangepurple 4y agoThere are only a handful of mainstream keyboard layouts. Mostly ISO and ANSI.
- chrisseaton 4y ago> There are only a handful of mainstream keyboard layouts. Mostly ISO and ANSI. You've got to be joking? Not even all my Macs have the same keyboard, let alone looking at Windows laptops.
- Xeamek 4y agoThat's still bad, at this point there are equally as many ctrl-fn fanatics, as fn-ctrl. Option to adjust them in bios is perfect solution
- JimBlackwood 4y agoWhy a BIOS option? I don’t see why laptop keyboards can’t just ship with programmable firmwares. I think ZSA is showing with their Oryx GUI just how easy it can be for an end user.
- danudey 4y agoI'm assuming I'm not understanding you properly, but are you suggesting that flashing a custom firmware is an easier solution than changing an option in the BIOS?
- Mavvie 4y agoAssuming there'd be a nice UI in userspace to adjust the keyboard firmware settings, that would be a lot more accessible to casual users than going into BIOS. (Although, casual users probably don't care that much about Fn-Ctrl vs Ctrl-Fn)
- codethief 4y agoGreat, so one day said UI stops working on up-to-date releases of your $FAVORITE_OS because of $DEPENDENCY_ISSUES or whatever, and then what?
- henearkr 4y agoThe FW's embedded controller's firmware has been open-sourced, is on Github, and you can flash your customized version if you wish so: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController
- postpawl 4y agoThe fn key is not a real key on the software level: https://askubuntu.com/a/827953 https://askubuntu.com/a/827953
- jgtrosh 4y agoI am so riled against Fn/Ctrl (I use Ctrl way more than Fn and my pinkey finds the corner easily) that I honestly didn't know some hackers prefer it that way round
- mr_sturd 4y agoYes! Ctrl+Shift+B is probably my most used keystroke and it's not fluid at all with Lenovo's default Fn placement.
- globalreset 4y agoAre you talking about tmux? Remap to Ctrl+Space. Ctrl+B is one of the worst defaults I could imagine. I wonder if they did it just because it's one higher than Ctrl+A from screen (which was much easier to type). If you're not talking about tmux - also consider remapping if possible.
- vhodges 4y agoI remapped tmux to control-\ (which didn't conflict with anything in emacs that I cared about). It kind of sucks to hit that in a non-tmux shell or one without my config file though ;). Control-space is mark in emacs (even though I am using vscodium these days - I do fire up mg for quick things). It does make it a two handed chord (left control) but it's quite fluid for me.
- jusssi 4y agoCtrl+Shift combos without Fn remap is even more impossible with some other locale keyboards, e.g. the nordic layout: https://laptops.fi/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/63Y0145-scaled.jpg https://laptops.fi/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/63Y0145-scaled...
- dima55 4y agoYou're doing it wrong. C+S+b is hit with the right Ctrl,Shift. Using the opposite-hand modifiers keeps your hands happy, and makes things fast.

- vhodges 4y agoAdd me to the group that wants control to be the bottom left and not FN (though I also remap caps lock to control as well)
