The Keyboard
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 function differently from other 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.
The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are
using.
Soft keys: FN key combinations
The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys.
Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific
features.
