Looks sweet.

Except the left FN button sits where the control should sit.  Sorry IBM you blew it.  Not likely you can autohotkey FN to do control either cause it probably dosen't send a keycode.

Yeah, that's absolutely dumb. Having a laptop (not an IBM, but that doesn't matter) I can say first hand that Fn+ combinations are rarely used...for me, Fn+F2 disables/enables WiFi and that's the most common thing I use it for. Second most common is Fn+Up or Down which is brightness. No reason why that key needs such a prime spot.

Used to have that problem, then I mapped Ctrl to Caps, and all my problems went away.
