Function keys (12) Perform system and application tasks.
For example, in Windows and many
applications, pressing
F1 opens a Help
file. When combined with the Fn key,
the function keys F2 through F4 and F7

as hotkeys.*

system tasks. For example, pressing
the
Fn+F7 hotkeys decreases screen

hotkeys increases screen brightness.

external numeric keypad.
