Soft Keys: Fn Key Combinations - Toshiba M500 User Manual

The Keyboard
F1 ... F12 function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with Fn) are the 12 keys at the top of your
keyboard. These keys function differently from other keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed
functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, keys marked with
icons execute specific functions on the computer. Refer to the section, Soft keys:
Fn key combinations, in this chapter. The function executed by individual keys
depends on the software you are using.

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.
Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key
settings are not restored by the Sleep Mode feature.

The keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104-key enhanced
keyboard, shown in figure above. The 104/105-key enhanced keyboard has a
numeric keypad and scroll lock key. It also has additional Enter and Ctrl keys to
the right of the main keyboard. Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys,
some of the enhanced keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys
instead of one on the larger keyboard.
Your software may require you to use keys that the keyboard does not have.
Pressing the Fn key and one of the following keys simulates the enhanced
keyboard's functions.
