Nov 03, 2005 Oh, and that evil vertical 5-key arrangement above the arrow keys on some Microsoft keyboards thankfully didn’t make its way to the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard, it’s just the classic 6-key arrangement the way it was meant to be. One curious thing I noticed was the Mac logo on the box. Function keys. The Function keys (F1, etc) behave as such (as opposed to brightness, volume, etc), regardless of what you set in the Keyboard preference pane. If you press “F Lock” the F keys simply do nothing. Luckily the F Lock remembers its setting across reboots. There is no Fn modifier key as on the Mac keyboards. Uncover which Bluetooth ergonomic keyboard is best for you.

Use standard function keys
Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard Key Functions
Standard function keys work differently depending on the app and the keyboard shortcuts that you've set up. Some apps have their own keyboard shortcut preferences that you can customize.
To use the standard function keys, hold the Fn (Function) key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F12 (speaker icon) performs the action assigned to the F12 key instead of raising the volume of your speakers.
If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try pressing and holding the Control key when pressing a function key.
