MiniBook X N100 - Is it possible to swap Ctrl and Fn keys?

Hey there, really enjoying the little laptop - there’s just one thing that bothers me.

Is it possible to swap Ctrl and Fn keys? On my other laptop the keys are laid out like this: Fn-Ctrl-Win-Alt, but on this MiniBook they are laid out like this: Ctrl-Fn-Win-Alt, which really messes with my muscle memory.

I’ve looked in the BIOS settings, but haven’t seen any options relating to this.

My laptop’s serial is ZMinBXHY4H240201062 and I bought it on the Chuwi website on 2024-09-05.

I’m afraid not.

In linux I use a keymapper tool called keyd, because some keys are broken. Similar apps or tools exist in Windows. What I noticed is that the fn key is not recognized by the keyd tool. So only the BIOS can.

The Fn key does not have a scan code.

The keyboard driver does not expose the Fn key to the operating system, so basically your operating system (and therefore AutoHotkey) does not know that it exists.

When you press the Fn key in combination with a supported key, the keyboard driver reports a single key press to the operating system with a different scan code. Basically, it tells the operating system that a different key was pressed.

It seems that some laptops offer it as a BIOS setting:
