    Fn key and F1-F12 keys


    1. Previous versions of Win 10 and Office 365 allowed me to make keyboard shortcuts eg F2 = â, F2+Shift = ä, F2+Ctrl = é ... and F3 = ê, F2=Shift = ë etc. Currently the F1 - F12 keys are useless except for the functions showed by symbols (Sleep, Airplane mode on/off, etc)

    2. SO:

    2.1 What does the Fn key do in Win 10 and Office 365?

    2.2 Any advice on how to make shortcuts as in 1. above?

    ThanX!

    :)

    How To Disable Fn key for F1-F12?

    Just press the Fn key... when the LED on the key is on, function keys work as F1...F12; when it is off, the keys work as media keys...

    when holding Fn key while pressing any function key, the key does the opposite to the action it would do without the Fn key pressed
