The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top 
of your keyboard. These keys are dark grey, but function differently from 
the other dark grey keys. 

 

 through F12 are called function keys because they execute 

programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn 
key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. 
See the section, Soft keys: Fn key combinations, in this chapter. The 
function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are 
using. 

Alt Gr

 

The Alt Gr key, at the right of the space bar, is used in combination with 
other keys to create accented or special characters (#,@,|, etc.). Note that 
some of the keys at the top of the keyboard bear three symbols (not to be 
confused with the blue or white letters on the side of some other keys). To 
generate the third symbol, hold Alt Gr and press the key bearing the 
character you wish to create. Please note that since the Alt Gr key is not 
present on the American keyboard, it cannot be used if you have installed 
an American keyboard driver. 

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.
