  1. The Fn key, short form for function, is a modifier key on many keyboards, especially on laptops, used in a compact layout to combine keys which are normally kept separate. It is typically found on laptops due to their keyboard size restrictions. It is also found on many full-sized "multimedia" keyboards as the F-Lock key.

    Short for Function, Fn is a key found on most laptop and some desktop computer keyboards. When pressed, the Fn key enables the secondary purpose of other keys on the keyboard, such as the function keys (F1 - F12). For example, on some laptops, holding Fn and pressing a key with a secondary function adjusts the screen's brightness.

    The Fn key was originally created due to a lack of space on earlier keyboards. Instead of adding more keys, they were given multiple functions. As an example of one of its uses, the Fn key on some laptops lets you adjust the screen's brightness when you press it in conjunction with another key. Think of it as a button similar to the shift key.

    Function keys, or just "Fn" for short, are used to trigger functions of the F keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) on the top of the keyboard. In essence, it acts as a shortcut key for basic yet essential functions like changing the volume, brightness, and backlight.
