my problem with the f1-f12 keys [closed]

Solution 1:

Assuming this is probably on a laptop that needs to save space, muti-bound keys tend to have a secondary key that must be held in order to use the secondary key-binding. A common example is the Shift key, but typically there is also a Windows key or Function (Fn) key that will have this behavior. On my own computers, it shows which key will be used by a corresponding color or border for one of the two icons on the key, ie: The Function key has blue lettering on it, the numbers keys have numbers in white and f#'s in blue. I have to hold the Function key while pressing the other key in order to make them use the f# key binding instead of the regular number key binding.
