F1 … F12 function keys
The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of
your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the
other dark gray 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. 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
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.
Emulation keys
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 + Enter to simulate Enter on the enhanced keyboard's numeric
keypad.
Press Fn + Ctrl to simulate the enhanced keyboard's right Ctrl key.
