Function keys allow you to perform an action with the press of a key - instead of typing a character. The action that happens for a function key depends on the software that is active when the key is pressed. Some software or apps might have functions for the keys, while others might not. If you press a function key while using an app and nothing happens, that usually indicates that the app does not have a function programmed for that key.
Some function keys have a symbol printed on the key in addition to the F number. To activate the function that corresponds to the symbol, press and hold the Fn key while pressing the function key. See section Keys with icons or symbols for more information.
Consult the software's help menu or support site to find out which keys are supported, and the associated functions for those keys.
