Using Your Apple Pro Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse
You can quickly adjust settings such as volume or eject CD or DVD discs using the keyboard controls.
Your Apple Pro Keyboard has “hot” function keys that you can set up to open your frequently used applications or documents. For example, you can use hot function keys to open your Web browser, word processor, or favorite game. Once applications are open, you can use the hot function keys to switch quickly between them.

Assigning Hot Function Keys
Assigning an application to a function key is simple. The first time you press one of the function keys, a dialog box appears that lets you assign any of the function keys to an application. After that, you can change function key assignments using the Keyboard control panel.
Using the Standard Function Keys
You can quickly change a key from a control or hot function key to a standard function key by pressing that key and the Fn key at the same time. You can also use the Keyboard control panel to reverse the keys so that the standard function keys are primary and the screen controls and hot function keys are secondary.
