The Keyboard
Function keys: F1 … F12
The function keys (not to be confused with the special
Fn
key) are the
twelve keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently
from other keys.
F1
through
F12
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. Please refer to the section,
Soft keys: Fn key
combinations
, in this chapter for further information, taking care to note that
the function executed by individual keys will depend 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.
Emulating keys on an enhanced keyboard
Figure 5-1 A 101-key enhanced keyboard layout
The computer's keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 101-
key enhanced keyboard. The 101/102-key enhanced keyboard has a
numeric keypad and Scroll Lock key, and also provides additional
Enter
and
Ctrl
keys to the right of the main keyboard. Since the computer's
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.
In the event that your software requires you to use keys that the computer's
keyboard does not have, pressing the
Fn
key together with one of the
following keys, will simulate the enhanced keyboard's functions.
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.
