Lenovo ditched it on the Thinkpad[0].

I read this and thought, "At long last, Lenovo has realized that they've destroyed ThinkPad keyboards in recent years, and now they're celebrating the ThinkPad's return to its stature as the world's greatest programmer's laptop by restoring the Ctrl key to its traditional position!"

No. No, no, no, that would not be what they have done.

WAT

Ok, seriously. How is putting Home and End there helping anyone? (Also, it just makes it that much harder for me to remap the key to Control, because now I have to remap two keys. Argh.)

For a keyboard that's not full size, I actually kind of like that placement. Shooting your cursor to the beginning or end of a line becomes something you can do one-handed.
