Function Keys, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12
Every one of us has seen these 12 function keys on the Keyboard. Does any1 use that daily? .. DO you all thought of why those keys are there. Aplications of them??... how many of us used these keys to have our jobs performed easier? These function keys perform different functions in different applications and programs. In combination with other keys these function keys perform different functions differently. For the benefit of all of us I have codified the ‘Function Keys’ performances.
As this information is collected from various web sites, magazines, some of them may prove wrong. I have tested most of them, and they are Ok. While collecting the information I have taken every care to collect correct information without ambiguity and I may have missed some, SO this is not the end. You can also add up in the comment if you know any new.
