But, don't the relevant keys show the secondary usage, usually with the extra characters on the keys but in a different colour? Anyway, there is nothing like that showing on the keyboard of my laptop. I was not given the manual so I can't RTFM. I can do some testing or more research on the internet. However, I am not too worried, I am happy to use the row of number keys along the top of the keyboard. At least, something to watch out for if I ever do buy a desktop replacement laptop.
