Yes, please give me a full keyboard, and don't put things in weird places. My current machine has "Fn" where "CTRL" should be and it's driving me crazy. Also, the "PgUp" and "PgDown" are directly above left and right keys and I inevitably hit them when I'm jamming the keyboard with my meathooks. I don't need a number pad, but if you're going to give me nonstandard buttons, put em somewhere I can't hit em while I'm trying to do actual work.
In many laptops with Fn and Ctrl swapped there is often a setting in the BIOS to switch their positions. I know Thinkpads have this ability, and I feel pretty certain other brands can do this as well.
One of my old laptops had the function keys swapped (so you had to hold down Fn to hit the F key) and had mapped Sleep to F5, which I’m used to using to both start debugging and reload a web page.
The amount of times I put my laptop to sleep by accident was infuriating, and it was a work laptop so I couldn’t get into the bios to swap the keys back!
