TTY on Lenovo Thinkpad T440p?

Hello, this laptop has an unusual problem. It's "Fn' and "Ctrl" keys are swapped so that the Fn key is in the corner. There is a switch in the bios that lets you swap the keys making the Fn key act as the Ctrl and vice-versa. I can't get to the TTYs the usual way, with Ctrl+ Alt+(F2-F6), but I've found I can enter and switch the TTys if I press Fn+Ctrl+Alt+(F2-F6). Now that I've figured out how to enter them, I can't figure out how to get back the desktop. Of course I've tried (I think) all combinations of Fn, Ctrl, Alt and F7. Is there a command or other key combination I could try to get back to the desktop on this DIFFERENT laptop? The only way I've found is to reboot from the TTY with a command. Thank you very much for any help. I'm cuurently running Garuda KDE, but I've had this issue in all Linux I've run.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=fagOWJ5c88I:H2LnsKsK3vk:F7zBnMy latest?i=fagOWJ5c88I:H2LnsKsK3vk:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=fagOWJ5c88I:H2LnsKsK3vk:gIN9vFwfagOWJ5c88I
