I got a Lenovo Thinkpad recently and this part of the keyboard layout is really messing with my muscle memory. But since Thinkpads had always had this going back to the IBM days, before I rag on it, I want to know what other people think of it. What benefits does it have, and do you personally like the design choice?
I rarely use the function key. I don’t like the windows key. I just remap anything if it annoys me, so I don’t really mind. I say this on a T500, so its not like any change to current models will affect me for another 10 years or so.
