Keyboard function keys defined

Where can I learn what the function keys are set up to do? I want to dedicate a couple of them to be shortcuts to my home page and Outlook. I know how to do this, but I guess some are already for some dedicated functions, and I don't want to interfere with their destination.

This is a result of research of the shortcuts. Select your operating system and General keyboard shortcuts and select and you will be able to find the F keys.

  • Sculpt Microsoft comfort keyboard function keys

    Normally, the F2 key allowed me to enter in a cell in Excel.  The comfort keyboard sculpt received multimedia commands to the F keys, I would like to turn off or reassign so that leaves the F2 key to enter a cell.

    The centre of keyboard and mouse does not seem to allow changes.  Open 'Intellitype Pro' and then make the changes he said some instructions on the internet.  I am unable to download Intellitype Pro, except if I uninstall the centre of keyboard and mouse.  But, in so doing, Intellitype Pro is unable to find the USB keyboard.  It is impossible to get in touch with a Microsoft support.  If anyone can help with this question?

    I think that hard blue-white 'switch' is correct. It is to the "left of instructor LED, above of the Num Lock key"?

  • Microsoft comfort keyboard and the keyboard function keys Tecra A3

    I have a Tecra A3 and that you use with a Microsoft Comfort keyboard. The problem is that since the keyboard drivers have been the function keys (Fn + F2 to change the power mode) installed now realize the funcitons additional IE Fn + F2 also opens the folder my pictures. The strangest on East turn on map of wireless network or off with the switch located on the front of the laptop. This has the effect to load a copy of MS Outlook whenever it is switch extra.
    I have the latest version of Microsoft IntelliType Pro (version 5.20.412.0)

    Any idea on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you haven't explained do you have this problem now, using laptop or other external keyboard.

    If the problem persists with the help of an external one I think that you can not use combinations of keys FN + FX of Toshiba. Each external keyboard is specific and in my opinion, you should see s operating manuals and check also all additional functions. I'm also sure that you are able to set up some special keys on your own.

    The problem with the WLAN mixer is very strange. Try to delete the specific Microsoft software and check if the feature is as before.

  • For the ArcSoft keyboard function keys

    There is no documentation on the function keys on this keyboard for Windows 7.  What does each of the function keys?

    Hello

    By "function keys" do you mean the F1 through F12 keys along the top? Those that are designed to work within each application, with some generally accepted standards. For example, F1 usually means the 'Help' function in applications that support a help function. Similarly, F5 usually means 'Refresh', as it does in Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.

    But although there are standards, they are not always respected. For example, my file manager 3rd - party (which replaces Windows Explorer) use Ctrl (control) + 'R' to mean 'Refresh '. If the answer to your question boils down to, 'he (usually) depends on the application.

    It is also the answer to the same question when asked for the special function keys along the second row of keys. Last point, you can find what keys do what are the functions in the menu at the top of almost all the applications bar. Where a function button is enabled for a function in the menu bar, that will be visible key in the location hot key along the right edge of a menu. Thus, for example, 'Refresh' is shown in the View Menu of Internet Explorer, opposite the word on the right edge F5 is displayed.

    I would like to know if that answers your question, or ask any more questions if you have.

    Kind regards

  • S50 satellite - B - 14 M - button and function keys switch F

    So, I posted this a few days ago on plateau "Tools & Utilities", but did not answers, then maybe I should be more patient. But, since this forum seems to be a little more active, I thought I would try it here as well. Who knows, maybe some people with a Satellite S have experienced the same thing!

    I looked for an answer on google and this forum for days, but were not able to find something useful (especially in combination with 'windows 10', I have no idea if install had no effect in the present).

    I installed Windows 10 last week, and I don't know if it's the 'problem' at the start, but since yesterday I've been aware of the fact that the 'modus special function"F - keys (i.e. the function in which you don'thave to store the function key to access the special functions under the (former) F keys) no longer works.

    I have already tried:
    -My system restarts
    -Control Panel > keyboard > function key modus (but which has been defined correctly!).
    -Tried any combination of Fn with any other possible key.

    So I don't know what the problem is. It might have something to do with the $ 10 Windows?

    Details:
    Toshiba Satellite S50 - B - 14 M
    Pre-installed with Windows 8.1, upgraded to Windows 10 Home last Tuesday

    Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    I solved it myself! Turns out I just needed another obvious solution: reinstall the utility function of key driver.

    Well done!

    Thanks for sharing the solution with us!

  • Backlighting and function keys not working not not on Windows 10

    Hello!

    After I updated my Windows 8.1 to 10, I lost my keyboard function keys backlight (volume, brightness, etc.) and the OSD that I used to have (similar to the OSX one).

    My Bootcamp has been updated via USB, after preparation on the Mac side. Now it's on version 6.

    I tried to manually reinstall, remove all what about Apple and relocation, etc., but nothing seems to help.

    Actually I was not able to remove the support of Bootcamp, because there was no option at this point.

    My MBP is mid-2012.

    Do you know what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you!!!

    Gustavo

    In your device manager, you have the Apple keyboard driver? You have an element of Bootcamp in the Panel?

  • Function keys do not work on Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 running on Windows XP SP2.
    I had a slight problem with the shortcut keyboard/function keys. When I press the FN + F5 (display output) nothing happens.
    [edit]
    I fixed the wireless FN + F8 combination now. The FN + F5 again will not work. I installed the common modules and wireless hotkey utility

  • I need to disable all skills specific to HP function keys

    I have a HP Pavilion G7 - 2551dx with Windows 8.

    I want to disable all the functions specific to the HP keyboard function key. -F1 to F12 functions.  I don't need or want Ttout of them and in fact, they are just shortcuts to make things I already do through other means. His airplane mode, brightness, etc - I don't want one of these functions mapped to my function keys.

    How do I with this model?

    I have a 3 year Compaq, and it was an application that gave the PC these functions. I could disable all these features to uninstall this application.  I can't find such an application on this computer Pavilion G7. Rather, these functions are software controlled, they are activated in another way. The specific features of the HP gets in my way, because I accidentialy press these keys by mistake. They get in the way of games and other applications that map with the function keys. I have to be able to completely disable these functions as I have in the past with my Compaq.

    How can I do this?

    The link above says this:

    "On most of HP and Compaq computers laptops, it is necessary press the function (fn) key while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the features by default; as for example increase or decrease the brightness of the screen, the sound volume, sleep, keyboard lock, etc... On computers laptops HP Envy and other laptops with Advanced BIOS, the function keys options can be configured so that it is not necessary to press and hold down the fn key. »

    It worked for my problem BUT I almost didn't try because it is very misleading and very badly written.

    You see, it has never been necessary for me to hold and press the Fn button to use the default function keys (so why would I need to use the option above as written - I wouldn't). This makes you only believe that it turns on or off the ability to use the function keys to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 to 12 function keys - and not the function keys do not work. That would have helped me.

    In reality, what it does, is change the function of these keys depending on whether you use the Fn key at the same time with the 1 through 12 keys or not. It acts as a switch allowing only the multimedia type function keys work if you press the Fn key first. I had to tell him to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 through 12 keys. In this mode when the keys functioned are affected without using the Fn key, they act like normal multimedia type function keys, no.

    (These types of key functions multimedia were introduced for multimedia keyboards a few years ago. They added extra functionality that I needed off. They were never the standard functions for the function keys on the keyboards. Recently, desktop computers and laptos started to add these functions to the keyboard by default.)

    It's a good thing I played a bit with it to know because that is never written these things must be fired and replaced by someone who can explain all the s and outs of a much better task. It's very badly written garbage. It omits important information people need to know what actually makes the function under a permit and mobility.

    Thank you.

  • S50-B-15N issues satellite keyboard/Trackpad / function key - win 10 improvement

    I bought a Satellite S50-B-15N a few months ago, who came with Windows 8.1 and decided to do the upgrade of Windows 10 about two months ago. Initially, the laptop worked well but in recent weeks, he had various issues with the keyboard, trackpad, and function keys.

    Keyboard: Sometimes the laptop starts up and the keyboard detects no input. A few reboots solves the problem. If I hold the BACKSPACE key to delete several characters as a single character is deleted on one-click Rollback, I can't keep him down quickly delete several words.

    Trackpad: The same for the keyboard sometimes at startup it works everything simply. I have to use the keyboard to access devices Manager where I must get back the driver trackpad for her to start working again at the next reboot.

    Function keys: All the keys of the row from the top on the laptop (brightness, volume, stock selection, etc.) do not work. I am able to hold the "FN" key and select an F key, like F5, but other keys are completely insensitive.

    I tried reading the forums for solutions and I went to the page of the driver of Toshiba and installed all the drivers for Windows 10 for my laptop, so far, nothing has worked. Is that what I can do to make the laptop works properly with Windows 10?

    I have a similar problem. I had the same Toshiba model and bought in August. Not sure when the new driver will be released. If anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?
