The good old swap Fn and Ctrl question

Question

My H430 keyboard, like many Lenovo products, has the Ctrl and Fn keys swapped relative to the rest of the civilized computing world. Since I use keyboard shortcuts a lot when coding, this is a pain. Apparently the Thinkpad series has a BIOS option to swap the keys... but I don't see that option in the H430 BIOS.
Of course I can buy a real keyboard and take the Lenovo one to Goodwill, but I did pay money for the Lenovo version.
(Yes, I've read the explanation: in 1992 a highly-placed Macaque monkey in Lenovo's design department swapped the keys, and ever since then Lenovo has believed that some gadget of their own devising is more important than user ergonomics. Apparantly the Macaque monkey clique remains in control...  )
Anyway: shall I go and get a new keyboard, or is there an easy way to make Lenovo's compatible with society?

Answer 1

From Wikipedia:
There is not yet an agreed standard for the placement of the Fn key. It is usually placed adjacent to the left Control key, shrinking and displacing it in the process. The control key is most frequently associated with handy modifier keystrokes such as cut-and-paste, or application shortcuts such as control-s to save. The wide control key on a full size IBM PC keyboard layout allows users to become accustomed to using either the left or right side of the key for these shortcuts. In turn, shrinking and displacing it either to the left or the right causes considerable user-annoyance for a set of users....Further aggravating the situation is the fact that the Fn key is a hardware meta-key which is not remappable through operating system level keyboard remapping tools, ...
Most manufacturers today have shrunk and displaced the control key to the lower-left corner of the keyboard, placing Fn to its right. This includes most laptops from HP, Dell, Samsung, and Lenovo Ideapads.
Lenovo Thinkpads place the Fn key in the lower left, displacing control to the right. However, unlike most other manufacturers, the control key remains an oversize key. Keyboards have been a strong source of loyalty for the brand due to both feel and layout, especially among highly technical users, and Thinkpad keyboards are highly regarded as some of the best laptop keyboards.  However, their Fn key placement is sometimes a sticking point for users of other brands.
Apple Laptops place Fn in the lower-left and shrink control to the right. However, Apple's OS X is somewhat less sensitive to control key shrinking, as it uses the Command-key for many common modifiers, making text-copy the PC keyboard equivalent of Alt-C instead of Ctrl-C.
As an aside, I never noticed before but my Mac does indeed have the Fn key at the outside bottom corner, with the Ctrl to the right.
So a replacement of the L. keyboard may be one solution. However, dmille writes (in topic "Access Lenovo H430 BIOS with non-Lenovo keyboard") that after replacing the Lenovo keyboard with another one it became impossible to access the BIOS with the F1 key. 
Does Lenovo use a non-standard keyboard microcontroller interface, thus making it harder to swap out with an aftermarket keyboard? Huh! 
Well, a purely mechanical solution to the problem of hitting the Fn key by mistake would be to pry the key up and drop some glue underneath. That ought to turn it into a stationary finger-rest. 
I'll pick up a couple of keyboards at a used-PC shop and see if the F1-key disable problem crops up for me too. And I'll probably alter the Lenovo keyboard -- it's a huge annoyance to highlight a chunk of code and then, by hitting the Fn key by mistake, erase the whole thing. (Undo is your friend -- but it's still a pain.)
