F1 through F4 and F6 through F8
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.
