Normally on a laptop you have a set of keys (on mine UIO are 456) which work either a UuIiOo (in one mode with shift) or 456 with another key (which may or may not toggle) sometime these are set with alt gr or other key, sometimes by the incredibly complicated trick of RTFM for the machine - or as I have done on more than one occasion sticking on another version of Linux that seems to spot the eboard better!NW wrote:Dan Dart wrote:I do have a Fn key on the laptop. I will have a play with it to see what happens. However the functions keys seem to work without needing the Fn key pressed. For example I can do Alt-F2 to bring up the launcher. Thanks Neil --Fn is for the blue or purple functions. You don't need to press Fn for Function keys.Well, the keyboard on my laptop does not have any blue or purple characters on any key. I will research Fn on Google. Thanks NeilAfter further research ... On my laptop (Compaq Presario) there is a Fn key, but no coloured extra items on any key. After research via Google, there are some extra items on each of the Function keys. These are called up using the Fn key. As an example Fn and F5 puts the machine on standby mode.
