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. For more information, see 

. 

Your computer’s keyboard has two keys that have special 
functions in Windows: 

❖

Start key—Opens the Start menu

❖

Application key—Has the same function as the 
secondary mouse button

The keys with gray numbers and symbols on the front of 
them form the numeric and cursor overlay. This overlay lets 
you enter numeric data or control the cursor as you would 
using the 10-key keypad on a desktop computer’s keyboard.
