The Keyboard
Function keys: F1 … F9
The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the nine 
keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other 
keys.
F1 through F9 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, 
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 104-key enhanced keyboard layout
This computer's keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104-
key enhanced 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.
The FN key can be combined with the following keys to simulate functions 
similar to those of keys on the 104/105 key enhanced keyboard which are 
not on this computer's keyboard.
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.
