Would it be possible to swap the Fn and Ctrl key on Thinkpads?
This is a really annoying issue to the point that I often rather use an external keyboard or another device because of the non-standard Ctrl button placement.
Recent original Thinkpad firmwares have this option apparently. I know someone who would be happy to look into implementing this but we have no idea where to start looking...

I checked and there is the option fn_ctrl_swap for T440p.
Use the -C option in nvramtool, to change the defaults in the ROM before flashing, because Libreboot hardcodes this at boot time. Set is to fn_ctrl_swap=Enable.
Nvramtool is available under util/nvramtool in coreboot (git repository). You can learn about how to use it there, by running it without arguments to get a list of options.
