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?

You are all bonkers. Playing with your lives like this... Who will look after your children after you've all succumbed to F1? Mmm?
PLease. Just think of the children.

Lol - what you all like?!!

Try this: www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000306.htm

Some of them are multi-function keys in different programs, but you will find each pc may or may not have it's own little quirks!! None them will be terminal though .

My F5 has a picture of a volume increasing horn thing on it. DD generally uses it while watching Freddie Mercury (who she is really hoping to marry from beyond the grave).

BessieBoots - LOL

You lot have brought a ray of light in the form of giggles to a crepe-y day for me.

Thanks folks.

My f8 has what looks like a fastforward sign on it. Will i speed through time?!?

oh...no. It did nothing.

oh wait f8 was pause...f9 was speed through time. Fortunately f7 is speed back in time. I have a fucking timetravelling Mac!

i'll be a millionaire!

My f5 has a frying pan on it. I know I have to use the f7 when I do powerpoint presentations but I always have to have someone to help me connect up to the projector.

I want a moon button

F3 on a Mac looks like a plate of toast.

I like the look of F1. It says 'hibernate' on it. I could do with a nap...

I'm sure 'F' stands for 'fuck it'- as in, press the 'fuck it' button

My F4 button has a picture of a place setting on it.

Have I been missing out on room service all these years?

so if you're feeling really brave - what about the function button at the same time as an F key????? On second thoughts - no don't do it, I can't cope with the responsibility

Pressing F7 turns Caret Browsing on or off. This feature places a moveable cursor in web pages, allowing you to select text with the keyboard. Do you want to turn Caret Browsing on? (What the hell is Caret browsing??)

Don't touch the Caret Browsing - it will suck you in - you will regret it.

Er...so ctrl+F2 turns off your wireless switch, but of course you won't know this if you are me...just spent half an hour finding out what I did in the hope of getting the internet back...

this made me chuckle. you're all buggered if you press F1 at the same time and you all disappear...saying that there is a ctrl+Fbutton which turns the power off...I dunno which one, and sod off, no I'm not trying.

Alt-f4

According to what DH has just told me Alt-F4 makes your tits grow bigger (his words not mine!)

frog he's pulling your leg.
