MSI GT780 Fn and left Ctrl are swapped.

My Fn key and my left Ctrl key, swapped for no apparent reason. I would like to know if there is a way to fix this. I've tried multiple things, involving programs which let the user remap his keyboard. I am thinking this is a bios related problem. Have you got any clue on how I can fix this?

you haven't flashed any firmware right?
have you tried ec reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller

Is there a way to swap the Fn key and left Ctrl key

Is there a way to swap the functions of Fn key and left Ctrl key on the keyboard. I'm used to other keyboards where the keys are switched and I keep pressing Fn when I want to press Ctrl. I figure I'll get used to it eventually, but when I use the laptop in a docking station with a regular keyboard the control key is in one spot and undocked with the Lenovo keyboard the function key is there instead, which makes it hard to get used to.
If not is there a way to disable the Fn + Space bar function that changes the screen resolution. The programs I use use control + space heavily and my screen resolution keeps changing when I don't want it to.
It's a small thing I know, but very maddening.

Thanks, I took the survey. It's interesting the questions on there were asking about location of keys like page up and page down. I find the position of those keys are not that important to me because I don't use them that much and don't seem to mind looking at the keyboard to find them. Also they are almost always in different spots depending on whether you are on a desktop or laptop keyboard so I guess I'm used to unconsciously switching depending on which keyboard I'm on.
But the left control key is one of the most heavily used, at least by developers like me (control+c to copy, control+v to paste, and control+space for code assist, shift + control + f to format code, shift + control + r to find resources, etc...). I have to hit that Ctrl button 1000 times a day. And the key is in the bottom far left corner on every keyboard (desk top and laptop) I've ever seen until now. Having to remember to look down at the keyboard to find the key is proving difficult and I think is actually hurting my productivity. Especially control+space (when you are expecting a popup to automatically complete the line of code you're working on and instead the screen blinks, resizes and your whole editor loses focus it really breaks your flow of thought, so thanks a million for helping me turn off the silly screen zoom feature).
Hopefully I'll get used to it like with the other keys like page up and page down although I've had the laptop for two weeks and it's proving difficult. If I had know that Thinkpads have this layout and how maddening it would be to get used to it I probably wouldn't have bought it, even though everything else about it is great. It's amazing how such a small thing can become such an irritant.
Well thanks again, and if anybody from Lenovo engineering is reading this post, my vote is for some bios setting on the T61P that swaps the functions of Fn and Left control key. It would save me a lot of grief anyway.

Elements 8 [Mac IOS 10.9]: 4 X 6" borderless printing -- top and bottom 1" are cutoff in Portrait and right and left 1 " are cutoff in Landscape

I am using Elements 8 [with a recently installed Mac IOS 10.9] and a new Epson Artisan 1430 printer . When I print 4" X 6" borderless photos, the top and bottom 1" are now cutoff in Portrait orientation and the right and left 1" are cutoff in Landscape orientation. I do not have the same problem printing from iPhoto. Epson tech support says this is not an Epson problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I should just install Elements 12 and see if this might solve the problem. Any ideas?

MSI 7125 board and Esata drive hot swapping

Hello. New member with a MSI-7125 board. I have the OEM board that Geeks had. Pretty much the same as the regular 7125. I want to use an external eSATA drive and attach it using a simple eSATA bracket that just connects to the board's internal sata ports, or I will use a PCI controller card. I'm told that either will work, and that I can have hot swapping on either too. I want to be able to turn on and off the drive without turning off windows. I don't want to use the external drive as my main drive. Can anyone confirm that either interface method will work? I'm supposing the simple bracket might be faster since it will have no PCI bus to go through. Thanks

I've listed below a couple of sites that you may be intrested in. They offer the option of using eSATA or SATA on the rear plates. Don't confuse them as they use different plugs on the cables.

MSI GT780 DXR and Windows 8

I updated my GT780 DXR to Windows 8 and now the S-Bar will no longer work. This also means that many MSI features also don't work...like the soft button to open the DVD drive. Is there any fix for this issue?
thanks
Jim

There is no S-bar version for Win8 released yet for GT780 DX(R) (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT780DX-GT780DXR-.html#/?div=Utility&os=All) so no wonder it doesn't work. You have to wait for a Win8 release.

GT70 2PE FN and CTRL keys swapped!

Hey guys,
So this is a very weird problem: recently after a reboot, my FN and Left CTRL keys got swapped.
I understand this happens at BIOS/EC level, but haven't touched/flashed those in a while. I've been using a custom BIOS provided by Svet for about 4 months, and never had any issues with it or keyboard problems such as this one.
Anybody know what's happeneing here? How do I fix this? Thanks in advance

Quote from: Svet on 12-April-15, 23:51:28
huh
can you check if they are swapped in windows only or also in bios setup or outside windows?
and have you done EC reset? https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
Hey Svet, thx for fast reply,
Currently I have a dual-boot configuration (Windows 8.1/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, both 64-bit) and I can confirm it also happens in Ubuntu, so it must not be Windows related.
Also I noticed one thing, when I went to BIOS to check current EC version all I found was something like this:
EC Version: Sve???? Ver?.??
EC Build: <a large string of numbers>
if you want I can post a photo of this. So should I still reset the EC like you said?

MSI GT628 - Fn and LCtrl swap

Hello MSI
I recently purchased the GT628, and I'd like to swap the Fn and left Ctrl.
After searching I reached these boards, and I noticed several threads where people have been sent Bios Fixes for this.
I'd like to know if one exists for my laptop as well?
Thanks in advance.

Buttons are swapped in InDesign CS6 for Mac

Has anyone else noticed that the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons are swapped in the "Options" dialog box for placing a linked graphic in InDesign CS6? It probably seems like a minor thing but when you use the "Show Options" feature a lot when placing a graphic it's very aggravating. Every other dialog box, including this one in the previous versions of InDesign has the Cancel button on the left and OK button on the right. I hope this gets fixed as I'm so used to the "OK" button being on the right that I'm constantly clicking "Cancel" by mistake and have to start over again. Arrgh!!

Yup.

I request you to guide me how to get the entry and left dates in this report. Please specify any configuration is required.

Magic Mouse-Right click and left click reversed?

Hello! Thanks in advance for any info you can provide regarding my problem. My wireless keyboard and magic mouse recently has been disconnecting from Bluetooth. A few days ago they both quit, and after a call to apple tech support, I tried everything, including re-loading my system software(Mac Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.2) When my keyboard and mouse finally came back up, when I de-selected the right click, the mouse wouldn't click. The cursor moves around, but no click. I have to plug in another mouse and select right click, and then the mouse will click, but the right and left click are reversed.
At one point, when plugging in an old wired mouse, I was able to select whether I wanted to enable the right or left click, and when I selected left click, the mouse quit clicking. I can't seem to get thatoption now with a wired mouse, and that might not even be related.
Can anyone help! I'd like to get my Magic mouse working correctly!
Thanks for all your help!

MSI Wind U110 - Reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl"

Hi guys,
is there a bios-fix to reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl" for the MSI Wind U110. I don't know why this keyboard is still that disfunctional. I think this is a well known issue, people complaining about for a long time. I am really hoping that you can help me.
Thank you, CyberKlabauter.

Quote from: Henry on 08-December-09, 10:47:03
Have you tried using the 'Search' function up there.
I did. But maybe I'm to stupid to do it right. I found this thread http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=121066.0 but there is nothing about the U110. If I'm searching for U110 I get only three topics (one is this one). I guess I shouldn't use any bios hack from a other model.
May you're willing to help me a little bit more. Thank you.

Control (Ctrl) and Function (Fn) keys are swapped on ProBook 4530s. How can I restore this?

I have HP ProBook 4530s which was working as expected i.e. Ctrl keys and Fn Keys were working correctly. Now somehow these two keys are swapped and I want to restore them so that Ctrl Key work as Ctrl key. Please note that I am running Windows 7 on this machine. How can restore this?

Just a quick update. I had the same issue with CTRL and FN swapped on my ProBook 6560b. I tried many possible solutions:CTRL + FN+ ALTUninstall keyboard deviceDisable keyboard deviceLook for setting in BIOS to swap the keys. This solution - remove the power supply and battery - solved my issue. There is clearly a wierd bug in many of these HP laptops.

MS-1757 Fn and Ctrl keys swapped

Suddenly my function and control keys are reversed and I can't figure out how to turn them back. I've had this MSI laptop for over a year and I've never had this problem, Ctrl on the bottom left corner of the keyboard and function just to the right of it. Now, all of a sudden, I have to hit Fn + C for copy and all other Ctrl-governed shortcuts.
Does anyone have any idea how to turn it back to the way it used to be?

Have you updated BIOS or EC firmware lately? Maybe you should debug the issue beginning from BIOS and EC.
