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 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.

Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key

settings are not restored by the Sleep feature.
