Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the
12 keys at the top of the keyboard.

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 TouchPad or Dual Mode Pad. For more information,
see “Hot Keys” on page 223.
