The function keys or F-keys on a computer keyboard, labelled F1 through F12, are keys that have a special function defined by the operating system, or by a currently running program. They may be combined with the Alt or Ctrl keys.
➢ On Laptop
On some smaller keyboards, including those on many laptop computers, the F-keys may have
a dedicated function such as changing the brightness of the screen, the volume of the audio,
or other device-specific functions. On these keyboards, there is typically a separate FN key
that you can hold down to indicate that you want to use the key as a standard Function key.
For instance, on the MacBook Pro laptop computer, the F12 key's primary function is to
increase the audio volume. If this key is pressed while the FN key is held down, the key will
register as F12, and trigger any software functions that are configured to use this key.
Below is a listing of some of the more common functions of the functions keys for Microsoft
Windows and Microsoft applications, as well as some for mac OS. As mentioned above,
not all programs support these function keys, and the function keys on your keyboard may
