In use there are different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys and Windows special keys.

Function Key

The function keys (F1 ~ F12) are the twelve keys at the top of your keyboard.

The FN key 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.

You can configure the Function Keys’ mode by selecting the "Special function mode" or "Standard F1-F12 mode". Please refer to the TOSHIBA System Settings section.
