Function Keys
The function keys form the top row of the keyboard. The action of the
function keys is usually determined by the software that the computer is
running. Some of the function keys have a second action embedded.
This action is identified as an icon on the keycap. This action is
selected by holding down the Fn Function key (in the lower left corner
of the keyboard) while pressing the function key.
