Just been given a new IBM laptop for the job I’m starting in a few weeks.

No grumbles at all about its performance or spec, but I do have an issue with the keyboard!

What a stupid place to put the Function (Fn) key. EVERY other keyboard has the Control (Ctrl) button at the extreme bottom left of the keyboard, and I’ve just realised how often I use it - or in the case of the IBM laptop, how often I try and use it and hit the Fn key instead…

A quick Ctrl+C to copy some text, and then Ctrl+V to paste it…only to realise that I have actually been pressing Fn+C, so I didn’t copy anything in the first place.

What is the logic behind the keyboard layout? Same goes for the lack of the Winkey, which I also use a fair bit. I suspect this is some sort of statement by IBM to Microsoft - but it’s annoying. I’ve had to map other key combinations to take place of the missing Winkey.

IBM - sort it out. Please.
