Keyboard
Your notebook keyboard has all the functions of a standard AT-enhanced
keyboard plus some keys specific to your notebook.
Function Keys and Hotkeys
On the top row of the keyboard are the function keys: [F1] to [F12]. Function keys
are multi-purpose keys which perform functions defined by individual programs.
Hot key functions are assigned to [Fn]+[F5] through [Fn]+[F12] by your notebook.
Hotkeys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed at any time to activate
special functions. Most hotkeys operate in a cyclic way. Each time a hot key is
pressed, it shifts the corresponding function to the other or next choice.
