I’m a fn-ctrl type, not the ctrl-fn that the Framework 12’s keyboard comes as. I see in the UEFI settings that I can swap them functionally, which meets 80% of the need. That other 20% is making the labeling reflect reality.
Is it possible to swap the keycaps?

Hi Colin! The FMWK laptop keycaps aren’t meant to be removed individually.

On Framework Laptop 13, I saw someone had swapped the keycaps unofficially.
Hi everyone,
since @DHowett released his docs and tools for working with the framework EC , I’ve wanted to change the keyboard to my preferred layout, colemak. Today was the day! First I made sure I could remove a keyboard key without breaking it. Turns out it’s really easy, and I didn’t break a single one. I can send a video for anyone interested, but it’s basically just use the back of the provided screwdriver to pry up the top corners of the key until it pops off.

The stickers are a great idea! Takes the risk of breaking a key out.

+1 on a swapping feature, I did this trying out different keymappings on an old macbook and thought that the fw12 would be easy to swap as well as I now wanted to try out colemak.
