如果您是计算机或笔记本电脑的日常用户，那么您应该了解键盘上存在的功能键的功能。如今，它们非常重要。
函数键是键盘上的键，可使操作系统命令解释器或应用程序在屏幕上执行某些操作。从F1到F12键盘上有12个键。所有按键都有不同的功能要执行。如果使用的是笔记本电脑，则必须按Fn键以及F1至F12的其他键才能使用。
如何启用Fn键与函数键一起使用?
启动笔记本电脑，然后转到“ BIOS设置”，然后将光标移至系统配置。您将找到“动作键模式”选项，并且在同一屏幕上，将获得有关如何禁用或启用Fn键的信息。如果您不启用Fn键，那么函数键也将起作用，但其作用方式却不同。因此，启用Fn键是一个好主意，并且使用函数键按Fn键可以更好地协同工作。
从F1到F12的键也称为动作键。我们将一一了解这些键的功能。
