Function keys: F1 … F9
The function keys (not to be confused with the special
FN
key) are the nine
keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other
keys.
F1
through
F9
are called function keys because they execute programmed
functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key,
those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the
computer.
Soft keys: FN key combinations
The
FN
(function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys.
Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific
features.
Please note that some software may disable or interfere with soft-key
operations, and that the soft-key settings are not restored when the
computer returns from Sleep Mode.
Hot key functions
Hot key functions let you enable or disable certain features of the
computer. The Hot key functions can be performed using either the Hot
