Fn Key
The [Fn] key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with other keys to
perform alternative functions.
Special Keys
Several keys are added such as the [Ctrl], [Alt], [Esc], and lock keys for special
purposes. When the lock keys are pressed, their corresponding indicators will
light.
[Num Lock]
Pressing this key toggles the Num Lock on and off. When on, the Num Lock
activates the numeric keys.
[Scroll Lock]
Pressing this key toggles Scroll Lock on and off. The Scroll Lock is defined
by individual programs.
[Caps Lock]
Pressing this key toggles the Caps Lock on and off. When on, the Caps
Lock keeps the letter keys in uppercase.
Function Keys
On the top row of the keyboard are the function keys: [F1] to [F12]. Function
keys are multi-purpose keys which perform functions defined by individual
programs.
Hot key functions are assigned to [Fn]+[F5] through [Fn]+[F12] by your
notebook. (See "Hot Keys" later in this chapter for information.)
