    T420s: Fn/Ctrl key labels (or new keys)?

    Anyone,

    I swapped the Fn and Ctrl keys in my T420s BIOS, but my family (and I sometimes) are going mad trying to remember that I did so.

    I think I've gathered from this forum that it is not possible to swap the physical keys (they are of different sizes), and that replacement keys of the correct size are not available for purchase.

    Short of that, can anyone recommend any sort of key covers that I could buy to put over those keys? Something that wouldn't just slide off? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks so much,

    David

    I don't know of any KB specific labels but any home label printer should suffice.

    just post a post it note on the palmrest saying that the Fn is Ctrl and vice versa. Once people get use to it then they wouldn't have so much trouble using this key setup.
