Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the
Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions
on the computer. For example,
Fn+F9 turns the TouchPad™
ON/OFF. For more information, see “Hot key functions” on
page 180.
