There's a BIOS option to swap Fn and Ctrl, at least on the X250.

I believe the BIOS option to change them was introduced in the xy10 series, I actually loaded a hacked BIOS on a W500 I was given to "recycle" to do the same swap.

Did it work? If not, can you hit ESC and still save the option?

(None of my old TPs have this, so I can't check.)
