Function Keys: F1; Soft Keys: Fn Key Combinations - Toshiba PORTEGE S100 User Manual

The Keyboard
Function keys: F1 ... F12
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,
The function executed by individual keys depends 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.
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. 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 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.
