Emulating Fn key on external keyboard

The Fn key is only on Toshiba keyboards. If you use an external keyboard
attached to the computer, you can execute Fn key combinations by
emulating the Fn key. For example, you might hold down left Shift + left
Ctrl
then press F3 to change the power up mode. See Chapter 7,

Setup

and Password Security

, for details on setting the Fn key equivalent.

Keypad overlay

Your computer’s keyboard does not have an independent numeric keypad,
but its numeric keypad overlay functions like one.

The keys in the centre of the keyboard with white letters make up the
numeric keypad overlay. The overlay provides the same functions as the
numeric keypad on the 101/102-key enhanced keyboard in the next
illustration.

Turning on the overlays

The numeric keypad overlay can be used for numeric data input or cursor
and page control.

Arrow mode

To turn on the Arrow mode, press Fn + F10 (Arrow mode icon lights).
Now try cursor and page control using the keys shown in the following
illustration. Press Fn + F10 again to turn off the overlay.
