The university supplied me with <a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/de/de/laptops/lenovo/yoga/yoga-2-pro/" target="_blank">this really cool yoga 2 pro notebook</a> and even though I have grown to like it, it does have some serious design flaws. I will not go into detail on all of those, but one problem is that they decided to put the <b>End</b> and the <b>Insert</b> key onto the same button, and to press <b>End</b> you have to simultaneously hold the function key, which is on the opposite side of the keyboard ((I am talking about the German Keyboard layout by the way. I realize now that I am quite possibly the only person on the planet with this problem.)). I personally need to press <b>End</b> quite frequently while typing text or code, while <b>Insert</b> is only required occasionally. To make a rather boring story short at the very least, I got myself <a href="http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/" target="_blank">SharpKeys</a>, an open source tool which alters a registry key that is able to re-map keys as you see fit. It's quite awesome. Apparently, some people use it to turn off the capslock key. WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?
