Possible to remap the Fn+C/V to Ctrl+C/V key combinations on a Thinkpad?

Question

I know remapping the Fn key alone seems like its impossible, but what about the actual combination?

FN + c, FN + V and FN + a to be remapped to the ctrl + C, V, A.

Doable?

Answer 1

Not only does Fn usually not generate a usable keycode, but it will also not generate a usable keycode unless used with specific keys, as determined by the hardware. It does not generally act as a modifier. You can try to use xmodmap to remap its raw scancode to an actual modifier, but this will not work on all laptops.
