Most of the time there’s no difference between the two keys.
However, some programs assign separate functions to the right
and left
Ctrl
and
Alt
keys, or to the regular and numeric pad
Enter
keys on the enhanced keyboard. The
Fn
key allows the keyboard to
simulate these separate keys, as follows:
❖
Press
Fn
+
Ctrl
to simulate the
Ctrl
key on the right side of the
enhanced keyboard.
❖
Press
Fn
+
Alt
to simulate the
Alt
key on the right side of the
enhanced keyboard.
❖
Press
Fn
+
Enter
to simulate the
Enter
key on the numeric pad of
the enhanced keyboard.
