Function Keys 9-12
Yes, folks, this is the final installment of "F" Keys and their uses. If you're wondering what happened to the first two installments - where have you been? Now, we're not ones to hold a grudge, so before you go slapping your forehead in frustration, parts one and two of this thrilling trilogy can be found here. All better? Good.
Just to clarify, the term "F" Keys is not cyber code for a stream of foul words. This term refers to the line of function keys running across the top of your keyboard going from F1 to F12. This tip covers F9 through F12 and covers the "Alt", "Ctrl" and "Shift" functions of these keys to see what their actual purpose is.
Please Note: Some of these key combinations may be program specific or obsolete and therefore not all may work. If you're slamming away at the keys with no result, it is really is time to consider moving on...
