Welcome to the forum!
No, there's no method to swap the functions of the Fn and Ctrl keys.

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.

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.

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.

REQUEST: Switch LEFT Fn key with RIGHT Ctrl key for GX740?

Hello Svet, is it possible to switch the LEFT Fn key with my RIGHT Ctrl key on the GX740? I can say I never touched the right Ctrl key and having both Ctrl keys side by side on the left of the keyboard will make it infinitely easier to hit any one of the Ctrl keys when gaming.

I think what he means is, that where most people want the two [Fn] and [Ctrl] keys swapped on the left of the spacebar, he wants the [Fn] key swapped with the [Ctrl] key to the right of the spacebar instead.
(Off-topic: one thing I do like with my Wind U135DX, is that there is a second [Fn] key on the right-hand side of the keyboard , but I never had a problem with the [Fn] and [Ctrl] keys needing to be swapped, I just got used to it instead )

How can I swap the Fn and Ctrl keys on ideacentre b550 touch?

How can I swap the Fn and Ctrl keys on ideacentre b550 touch?

The BIOS feature that you request already exists.
1. reboot the computer
2. press F1 to enter BIOS setup
3. config -> keyboard/mouse -> Fn and Ctrl Key swap

Left Ctrl key works peculiar.

In my Compaq 8710p, when I use Adobe Photoshop, the left "ctrl" key scrolls the right scroll bar to the most top and bottom scroll bar to the most left. It's very embarressing since I can't do anything properly in photoshop. Always I have to drag the page back to the middle of the page.
As well, in a browser, it's scrolls the right scroll bar to the most top. When in the desktop, it selects/focus the most top left icon in the desktop.
I tried vaccum cleaning to remove any dust exist in the keyboard and it works same.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks!

Hello Ravi-Gunasekara,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

Is there a way to change the Alt key to the Ctrl Key?

Is there a to access the Alt key screen functions (the quick Eyedrop, (holding Alt and click the color) and the Zoom in and Zoom out (holding alt alt and scrolling with the mouse wheel) with other key instead of alt, for instance the Ctrl key?
It is really annoying to me to deal with it, because in my shortcut configuration I use the keys "Q" and "W" to increace and decrease the size of the brush and the keys "A" and "S" to increase and decrease the hardness of the brush. What happens is that when I hold Alt to pick a color or to zoom, it calls the menu bar's shortcuts (it underlines the menu shortcuts) , so If I do so and press "S" it calls the Select menu, which is not what I'm trying to do.
In Gimp, the pick a color and zoom in and zoom out actions are configured to work with the Ctrl key instead of Alt, so the shortcut menus are not an issue. Is there anyway to switch it to Ctrl? Is there anyway to make the Alt stop calling the menu bar?
Thanks

How to save a record with null foreign key?

Dear all,
Most articles show non-nullable foreign keys; but now I've got a problem with nullable foreign keys.
With this simple example: an employee has zero or one manager.
in manager object:
@OneToMany(cascade={CascadeType.MERGE, CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH}, mappedBy="manager")
private Collection<Employee> employees;
in employee object:
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="manager_id")
private Manager manager;
when updating an employee record, i may use a selectOneMenu to pass a manager id of "0", I expect toplink to save a null manager_id in the employee record; but i tries to create a new manager object of id="0" (i.e. insert a new manager record instead)
the code i use to save an employee is like this:
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.merge(employee);
em.getTransaction().commit();
What's the correct way to save the employee record with a null manager_id column?
Could someone help?
Thanks a lot!
AK

But could you give me some pointers on how could I do
that from the web UI level?Got it. You want to select "nothing" and then set the object reference to that. I can't help you on JSF but how do you lookup the selected object behind the scenes? If you use entityManager.(Employee.class, 0) then you should get back null if there is no Employee with id=0.

Problem with left parenthesis key

I have had a problem with the left parenthesis key, when I hit shift to use it, it does not work. The right one works fine. I have noticed this problem since I got my Mac Book Pro which has been about 3 months. I know I can take it in to have the problem resolved, but if there is a quick fix out there I can do myself that would be great. Also I have a blue tooth mac keyboard and the problem exist when using it as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, John

I also forgot to mention that using the 9 works fine.
