Function Keys: F1; Soft Keys: Fn Key Combinations; Hot Keys - Toshiba QOSMIO F60 User Manual

Function keys: F1 ... F9
The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the
twelve 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. Please refer to the section,
this chapter for further information, taking care to note that the function
executed by individual keys will depend on the software you are using.

Soft keys: FN key combinations

The FN (function) is unique to TOSHIBA computers and 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 keys

Hot keys (pressing FN + a function or ESC key) let you enable or disable
certain features of the computer.
Mute: Pressing FN + ESC turns the volume on and off.
Lock: Pressing FN + F1 enters ''Lock computer mode''. To restore your
desktop, you need to log on again.
Power Plan: Pressing FN + F2 changes the power settings.
