Function Keys

Function keys provide shortcuts to commands, additional information, and inputting, finding, saving, or changing entries.

The results of pressing a function key depend on the location of the cursor. If you're using a Mac or Windows computer, you may need to hold down the Fn key first and the other key simultaneously to perform the shortcut action.
