F1 … F12 function keys
The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top
of your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from
the other dark gray keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn
key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer.
See the section, Soft keys: Fn key combinations, in this chapter. The
function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are
using.
Soft keys: Fn key combinations
The Fn (function) is unique to Toshiba computers and is used in
combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key
combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features.
Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key
settings are not restored by the Resume feature.
Emulating keys on enhanced keyboard
A 101-key enhanced keyboard layout
The keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 101-key
enhanced keyboard, shown in the figure above. The 101/102-key
enhanced keyboard has a numeric keypad and scroll lock key. It also has
additional Enter, Ctrl and Alt keys to the right of the main keyboard.
Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced
keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys instead of one on
the larger keyboard.
Your software may require you to use keys that the keyboard does not
have. Pressing the Fn key and one of the following keys simulates the
enhanced keyboard’s functions.
