Next thing you know they’ll put the Ctrl back in the right place.

I almost didn’t buy a ThinkPad back in the day before I leaned that you can swap it. Such a stupid design

I also randomly saw today that framework has the opposite option in BIOS. For the people that migrate over

Control back in the right place… where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?

Escape next to 1 is also underappreciated. It’s how vi was meant to be used.

Exactly. I use escape way more than control.

@Dultas
An Fn key is dumb anyway since that is the goal of every key anyway.
