Information About all function keys

What are the F1 through F12 keys?
Answer
Commonly known as “function keys”, F1 through F12 may have a variety of different uses or no use
at all. Depending on the installed operating system and the software program currently open will
change how each of these keys operate. A program is capable of not only using each of the function
keys, but also combining the function keys with the ALT orCTRL key, for example, Microsoft
Windows users can press ALT + F4 to close the program currently active.
Below is a short-listing of some of the common functions of the functions keys. As mentioned above not
all programs support function keys and may perform different tasks then those mentioned below.
If you are looking for more specific shortcut keys and function key examples we suggest seeing
our shortcut key page.

F3
Often opens a search feature for many programs including Microsoft Windows when at
the Windows Desktop..
In MS-DOS or Windows command line F3 will repeat the last command.
Shift + F3 will change the text in Microsoft Word from upper to lower case or a capital letter at
the beginning of every word.
Windows Key + F3 opens the Advanced find window in Microsoft Outlook.
Open Mission Control on an Apple computer running Mac OS X.
F4
Open find window in Windows 95 to XP.

Open the address bar in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.

Starts a slideshow in PowerPoint.
F6
Move the cursor to the Address bar in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and most other
Internet browsers.
Ctrl + Shift + F6 opens to another open Microsoft Word document.
F7
Commonly used to spell check and grammar check a document in Microsoft programs such
as Microsoft Word, Outlook, etc
Shift + F7 runs a Thesaurus check on the word highlighted.
