Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the

documentation.
Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12
keys at the top of the keyboard.
(Sample Illustration) 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 the touch pad ON/OFF.
