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 execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. For example, Fn+F9 turns off the Dual Mode Pad.
