In 2005 Lenovo introduced Windows keys on new ThinkPad keyboards. The unfortunate side-effect of this, is that all the keys on the spacebar row are now very small, making it much more likely to hit the wrong key by accident.</div>

== Linux support ==
{{Todo|?}}

=== Simulating Windows keys ===
If your model does not have these keys, you can [[How to get special keys to work|map special keys]] to the {{key|Windows}} and {{key|Menu}}.

For example, to make the {{key|Fn}} key behave as a {{key|Menu}} key (except keys ''combination'' don't work), add the following to {{path|~/.Xmodmap}} and run {{cmd|xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap|}}:
 keycode 227 = Menu

Hint: examine correct keycode using ''xev''. Here with a recent (2007-04) {{X60}} it is 115 and 117, left and right resp.

== Windows support ==
The keys are natively supported in Windows.
=== Simulating Windows keys ===
For {{Windows}}, it is possible to use the [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-44185 Keyboard customizer utility] to remap certain keys to act as windows and menu keys. The keyboard customizer utility also performs some additional functions, such as assigning shortcut keys on an external keyboard.

==Models featuring this Technology==
These were the initial offering of Thinkpad models.  Models more recent than these will also have the Windows key.
*ThinkPad {{T60}}, {{T60p}}, {{T61}}
*ThinkPad {{X60}}, {{X60s}}, {{X61}}, {{X61s}}, {{X61_Tablet}}
*ThinkPad {{Z60m}}, {{Z60t}}
