Function Keys: F1; Soft Keys: Fn Key Combinations - Toshiba Satellite L350 series User Manual

Satellite L350/Satellite Pro L350 series
Function keys: F1 ... F9
The function keys, not to be confused with FN, are the 9 keys at the top of
your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the
other dark gray keys.
F1 through F9 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. See 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

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