The Keyboard

Function keys: F1 … F12

The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of

your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the

other dark gray keys.

F1 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.

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

The keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104/105-key

enhanced keyboard, shown in figure 5-1. The 104/105-key enhanced

keyboard has a numeric keypad. It also has additional Enter and Alt keys

to the right of the main 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.

Your software may require you to use keys that the keyboard does not

have. Pressing the Fn key and one of the following keys simulates the

enhanced keyboard’s functions.

Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft key

settings are not restored by the Resume feature.

Press Fn + F11 to access the computer’s

integrated keypad.

When activated, the keys marked with dark gray

figures will become numeric keypad. Please refer

to the Windows special keys section in this

chapter for more information on how to operate

these keys. Please note that the default setting

for the function is off.
