Ever Wondered What Is The point of Function Keys (F1 to F12) on Your Keyboard? Here’s How To Use Them.


We know our keyboards have 12 function keys(F1 to F12) but have you ever wondered what are their uses? Though F1 through F12 have some default primary and secondary (in combination to the Fn key) features, they can be used well in combination with keys like Ctrl, Shift and Alt.

Below is the list of uses of every function key from F1 to F12:

F1

  • Almost every program comes with a help or support menu and pressing F1 while on the program brings up the help menu instantly.
  • So if you are in Microsoft Word and press F1 you will be taken to the extensive help section.
  • F1 with the Windows key, however, shows up Windows Help and Support.

F2

  • On your Windows Desktop, pressing F2 allows you to quickly rename a file or folder. So if you want to give a more specific name to your ‘Photos’ folder for example, click on it once using your mouse (not twice as that will open the folder), then press F2. The name of the folder will be highlighted so you can type over it.
  • In Microsoft Word, press Alt + Ctrl + F2 to open a new document quickly and easily.
  • Ctrl + F2 displays the ‘Print Preview Screen’ in Microsoft Word to give you the fast access to printer options.

Marathon Race - It's Hilarious


A woman was having an affair while her husband was at work. One day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband’s car pull into the driveway.

“Oh My God – Hurry! Grab your clothes,” – she yelled to her lover. “And jump out the window. My husband’s home early!”

“I can’t jump out the window!” – came the strangled reply from beneath the sheets. “It’s raining out there!”

“If my husband catches us in here, he’ll kill us both!” – she replied. “He’s got a very quick temper and a very large gun! The rain is the least of your problems!”

So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window! As he began running down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town’s annual marathon.

He started running along beside the others about 300 of them. Being n@ked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to “blend in” as best he could.

It wasn’t that effective! After a little while, a small group of runners, who had been studying him with some curiosity, jogged closer.

“Do you always run in the nude?” one asked.
