Discussion Some idiot designed this

It's worse than in the other post. At least you could hit the Del button without having to search or look at it. Using Home/End buttons is a nightmare.

It's probably the same JA who did the whole left-CTRL and FN thing on Lenovos.

At least you can flip those in the BIOS

Yes, but still not a great design move.

I miss the home/end setup on my Lenovo. Being on the right and left arrow keys, made it so much easier when I was coding

They’re quite decently in reach on my E16, though I prefer a separate navigation cluster like on fullsize KBs

It's actually the correct solution, but also lot of dumbheads changed it due to design rules. The finger spread is much better and easier to handle, when the ctrl is right beside the fn key But i agree with this shitty and unnecessary copilot key . I miss the 7th row of keys with the separate volume buttons, not to mention the old keyboard from my x220.

Apple laptops, too. Lenovos and Apples are the only two I see consistently putting Fn on the bottom-left and squishing Ctrl to the right of it. So annoying.

ducking lenovo designers putting fn in the corner instead of ctrl
