I have an ASUS X51R laptop and the left function/control keys are swapped as shown in the picture below?
Is there some way to remap these keys so that CTRL is on the far left as on a standard keyboard layout?
There's sadly no way to do this in the OS, since the Fn key isn't actually recognized by Windows.
You might actually be able to do it in your BIOS setup screen, but it's unlikely.
I tested the function key on my laptop (Latitude D830) . It doesn't produce a scan code by itself. I verified using Keytweak http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/ Which is an excellent tool for remapping keys in most cases.
Found this (assuming a Windows OS). I've not read it all but I think it can help.

Uses Autohotkey. It might only be able to remap the F1 function keys rather than the Fn key. Any good?
