Function keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the

Fn

key) are the

12 keys at the top of the keyboard.

Sample function keys

F1

through

F12

are called function keys because they execute

programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination
with the

Fn

key, function keys marked with icons execute

specific functions on the computer. For example,

Fn+F9

turns

off the Dual Mode Pad. For more information, see
