Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys
Sample Ctrl, Fn and Alt keys
The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the
program you are using. For more information, see your
program documentation.
Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the
12 keys at the top of the keyboard.
Sample function keys
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they run
programmed functions when you press them. Used in
combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with icons
run specific functions on the computer.
