By pressing some keys in combination, all the 101/102-key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer. The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country's keyboard layout your computer is configured with. There are five types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function keys, soft keys and cursor control keys. The other keys are dark gray. Typewriter keys The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen. There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a computer keyboard: x Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces, which are created by a "space character, " may also vary depending on line justification and other factors. The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on computers as they are on a typewriter. The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable. x x x x THE KEYBOARD The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the shifted position. The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the BkSp (backspace) key perform the same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer functions. 5-1 User's Manual F1 . . . F12 function keys The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the other dark gray keys. F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using. Soft keys: Fn key combinations The Fn (function) is unique to TOSHIBA computers and is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features. NOTE: Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key settings are not restored by the Standby feature.
