Making Your External Keyboard Pretend it Has the Fn Key
An external keyboard doesn’t have the
Fn
key provided by the
built-in keyboard. If you use the computer’s hotkeys or have set up
key combinations in Fn-esse, you’ll probably miss these features
when using an external keyboard. Don’t worry: with the Fn Key
Equivalent option, you can make your external keyboard act as
though it had an
Fn
key.
You can set the Fn Key Equivalent option with TSETUP, Fn-esse,
or through the Windows Control Panel. To find out how to set this
option using Fn-esse, see “Using Fn-esse with an External Key-
board” on page 293. To find out how to set this option using
TSETUP, see “TSETUP” on page 427.
To set the Fn Key Equivalent option through the Windows Con-
trol Panel, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Settings.
2 Click Control Panel.
Windows 95 displays the Control Panel.
3 Double-click the Keyboard icon.
Windows 95 displays the Keyboard Properties dialog box.
