I'm used to having the Control button at the bottom left corner of the keyboard. It's a little annoying to be pressing Fn + Tab when I wanted a Control + Tab and the position of the Control button in the new Mac keyboard layout is just very uncomfortable for any finger to reach.

Does anybody know how you can make the Control and Fn buttons change function like how you can change the modifier keys in System Preferences?

Not sure which OS this started appearing in but in macOS 10.13, this can be customized in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys:

I was happy, but then not as much. I just bought a Logitech K850 keyboard. Has a nice shape to help with wrist issues (for another time). Has keys from left as:

Tried Karabiner but it didn't seem to work (tested by using ctrl-F in vi/vim). Then I found this document (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/document.html) which lists a limitation.

Not for Logitech. Ouch. Other suggestions? Back to best buy again? I'm really just looking for a mac layout keyboard with full size keys. I don't care about the num pad, etc. on right side. The K850 looked good except for this issue. Some gentle ergonomics help is good.
