Soft Keys: Fn Key Combinations; Emulating Keys On Enhanced Keyboard - Toshiba Portege M100 User Manual

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

The keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 101-key
enhanced keyboard, shown in figure 5-1. The 101/102-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
of a portable computer 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.
Press Fn + F10 or Fn + F11 to access the integrated keypad. When
activated, the keys with white markings on the bottom edge become
numeric keypad keys (Fn + F11) or cursor control keys (Fn + F10). Refer
to the Keypad overlay section in this Chapter for more information on how
to operate these keys. The power on default for both settings is off.
Press Fn + F12 (ScrLock) to lock the cursor on a specific line. The power
on default is off.
