Function-Keys

You may have been using Windows for a long time, but I’m sure the majority of you are unaware of all the features of the Function Keys or F-keys on a computer keyboard. 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 a currently running programme.

They can be used in conjunction with the Alt or Ctrl keys. We’re all familiar with keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+C for copying and CTRL+V for pasting, but you might not be aware of what the F1, F2, F3,…..F12 keys do or when to utilise them.

The F-keys on some tiny keyboards, such as those found on many laptop computers, may have a dedicated function such as altering the screen brightness, audio level, or other device-specific capabilities.

You can usually hold down a distinct Function Key on these keyboards to signal that you want to utilise the key as a conventional Function key. You may arrange your keyboard to treat your function keys as ordinary Function keys in your Control Panel or System Settings if you prefer not to use the Fn key to access them.

If your keyboard doesn’t contain a row of function keys, they’re usually assigned to other keys as auxiliary functions. For extra information, look for alternate labels on your keys or consult your computer’s handbook. In this article, we’ll look at the F1-F12 keys’ common characteristics and uses, as well as how they can be combined with the CTRL and ALT keys.

Uses Of Function Keys F1 Key

  • “Help” is generally always invoked by using the F1 key. If you’re using Windows OS and need assistance, hit the F1 key, which will bring up a help window.
  • The F1 key is sometimes used to enter the BIOS (press F1 when your computer is about to boot).
  • The “Help and Support” Microsoft Windows can be accessed by pressing the Win + F1 keys together.
