Function keys: F1 … F9

The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the nine keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other keys.

F1 through F9 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key, those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the computer.

Soft keys: FN key combinations

The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features.

Please note that some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations, and that the soft-key settings are not restored when the computer returns from Sleep Mode.
