Use the Function keys on your Samsung Notebook

There are two ways you can set up your hotkey combinations so they will activate.

1. Press and hold the Fn key. Then, press a hotkey.
   
2. Or, press the Fn Lock key. Then, press a hotkey. When the Fn Lock is activated, hotkeys can be used without pressing the Fn key.
   

There are a variety of functions available when using keyboard shortcuts. You're sure to get things done faster, whether you end up using all of them or only a few.
