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, 

, 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.

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.

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.
