Our computers have been upgraded to HP EliteBook 8570p machines and while they're very nice machines, they are also very large -- so large that the left Ctrl key is too far away, making Ctrl+V really difficult to do with one hand.
I'm sure there are ways to re-map the keys so that their signal is swapped. But add the factor of corporate security, is there still a reasonably simple approach to this?
I'm sure you'd like more information before you can answer -- I'll try to add updates based on comments and answers.
Answer
It can't be done. Not without getting your hands dirty, that is opening up keyboards and swapping keys at the hardware level. Pressing the Fn-key changes the scancodes for other keys on the board, but is not reported to the operating system. For example, on a lot of notebook keyboards, pressing Fn-K will be registered as pressing an actual Numpad 2, even though that key might not physically exist. The operating system is fully unaware of any Fn-key and its presses can therefore not be remapped on a software level.
