Function and Keypad Keys
Top Components: Function and Keypad Keys
1 | 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 | |
|
| through F12 perform additional tasks as | |
|
| hotkeys.* | |
|
|
| |
2 | Fn key | Combines with other keys to perform | |
|
| system tasks. For example, pressing the | |
|
| Fn+F7 hotkeys decreases screen | |
|
| brightness and pressing the Fn+F8 | |
|
| hotkeys increases screen brightness. | |
|
|
| |
3 | Keypad keys (15)* | Can be used like the keys on an | |
external numeric keypad. | |||
