Hotkeys

Look at the top row of the keyboard of your Lenovo computer and you’ll find keys with printed icons. These keys are called hotkeys and they provide shortcuts to functions that you’ll use frequently. The function that each hotkey provides is denoted by the icon printed on the key.

Hotkeys share keys with function keys (F1–F12) and other keys. Depending on the FnLock setting, you use hotkey functions by pressing the key directly or in combination with the Fn key.

Note: The FnLock switch does not apply to hotkeys not found in the first row of the keyboard. To use these hotkeys, always hold down the Fn key while pressing the key.
