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 grey, but function differently from
the other grey keys.
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12
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. See the section Soft
keys:
Fn
key combinations in this chapter. The function executed by
individual keys depends on the software you are using.
Soft Keys: Alt Gr Key Combinations
Alt Gr
The
Alt Gr
key, at the right of the space bar, is used in combination with
other keys to create accented or special characters (#,@,|, etc.). Note that
some of the keys at the top of the keyboard bear three symbols (not to be
confused with the blue or white letters on the side of some other keys). To
generate the third symbol, hold
Alt Gr
and press the key bearing the
character you wish to create. Please note that since the
Alt Gr
key is not
present on the American keyboard, it cannot be used if you have installed
an American keyboard driver in MS-DOS or Windows.
The euro symbol
By pressing
Alt Gr
+
e
(
Alt Gr
+
5
,
Alt Gr
+
4
or
Alt Gr
+
u
on some
keyboards) you can generate the Euro symbol. Please note that only Arial,
Times New Roman and Courier New fonts of Windows 98 have the Euro
symbol implemented. Please look at Microsoft web pages for newer
patches and updates.
You may need to update the fonts on your printer to be able to print the
Euro symbol properly.
