to be too scared to fiddle with the Fbuttons?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I've just found the F5 button is my friend - it must save me seconds a week, not having to aim my cursor at the curly arrows.

But I am not brave enough to fiddle with the others in case they lead to VeryBadThingsHappening.

Was thinking of putting a shout out to that un-paralysed one from Lost, but I thought I'd try the wisdom of wise MNetters instead.

Where do these magical squares lead me to?

I just came here type "F5 is my friend" ! yy, other buttons are a step into the unknown.

Shall I try F1? Shall we work our way through them...? [rebel]

ooooh I fiddled

my f6 turns my screen off like a light going out!

f6 just highlighted the current address in my browser.

nonononono Not F1 - that's the scariest - leave it till we're braver.

lurking to see if we lose any of you.

I'm still here - too wussy to press.

I spend what seems like half my working week taking screenshots for presentations.

So I love F11 because it saves me having to trim off the toolbars.

So we're safe to fiddle with that one then. Phew.

I pressed F1 [brave] and the Help box came up. And I'm still here, and nothing terrible has hap

F10 highlights 'File'...no disaster here.

i sometimes hit a button with a moon on it, i'm away for ages then

Doing it with Mr Spoon?

I have just spend eons looking for a moon button on my laptop.

I'm all befuddled.

I like F12. It brings up the calendar. Press it again, it disappears.

Seenyer, we clearly have the same laptop. Mine is silver.
DD much more computer savvy than me, DH knows everything (IT teacher).
I haven't got a moon, but there is a sun icon on F2. Maybe if I press it I'll be whisked away to Mauritius or somewhere exotic.

I've got a Mac although I can't really work it. I'm too scared to press any of them in case they are different and I email myself somewhere or delete the internet.

Tsk. I've only got a battery icon on F2. No Mauritius for me, clearly.

F11 scares me, it's only that i know i just have to press it again to be back to reality that I can stop flipping out.

Well, I've been robbed... My crappy Dell D620 does nowt when I press ALL the function buttons in turn, except F10 which made FILE light up. Do I need to press other buttons too? Dare I?!! I am "working from home" today...

I'm too scared to join in... but a MN got me out of a pickle months ago whne I pressed a 'F' button Now I can't remeber which one?????? I think it took away all the toolbars to make the working screeen bigger.

What does F5 do exactly ??

f7 does something to do with frames so that you can scroll down your page with the arrow keys or page up/page down with them.

I only know this because I pressed it by accident and spent the next month cursing my computer.
