When you use older devices of the Lenovo X series, it has a great keyboard and a certain keyboard layout. This layout has changed on later models, e.g. the keyboard layout on the x230 is different, there are no pgUp/pgDown, Home/End, etc. keys.
I wonder: How does that layout works? Someone with good/bad experiences?
Sometimes I got the impression that companies try to sell "less" for "more", even claiming "that's good for ya..." :)

@artixx Aren't they on secondary layers?
xaver artix
@hund Yes, I'm curious how that works for x-line users
Hund
@artixx What's X-line? I searched for it but found only something for cars. :P
xaver artix
@hund That's just the Lenovo X series I meant, like the X200, X220, X250, etc. These are the smaller notebooks, the counterparts are the T400, T420, T450, etc.
Hund
@artixx Ah! :D I assume it has some Function key for the second layer?
xaver artix
@hund Probably, but usually it's more convenient if those keys are not on the second layer. I didn't try it though and no comments so far with own experiences after switching the keyboard.
Hund
@artixx You're talking to a 60% user. Layers can actually make things more efficient and ergonomic if done right. :)

@hund They put pageUp and pageDn as secondary on arrow up and down. home and end are secondary on left and right arrow. They kept Delete and Print Screen, Insert and Pause are secondary on F keys. ScrLk probably too.

@artixx Layers are nice. :)
