When it comes to function keys on a keyboard (F1 to F12), many of us rarely use them. But there is a valid reason for them being there. In fact, once you get to grips with them, they can become ’second nature’ and save you heaps of time on a daily basis! So check out our quick overview below and try a few of your own today.

F1 – Opens the Help screen for almost every program.

F2 – Allows you to rename a selected file or folder.

F3 – Opens a search feature for an application that is active at the moment.

F4 – Alt + F4 closes the active window.

F5 – Allows you to refresh or reload the page or document window. F6 – Moves the cursor to the address bar in most Internet browsers. F7 – Used to spell check and grammar check a document in Microsoft Apps (e.g. Word). F8 – Used to access the boot menu in Windows when turning on the computer. F9 – Refreshes a document in Microsoft Word and sends and receives emails in Outlook. F10 – Activates the menu bar of an open application. Shift + F10 is the same as right clicking.

F11 – Enters and exits full screen mode in Internet browsers.

F12 – Opens the Save As dialog box in Microsoft Word.

What is Shift F8?

One of the most obscure keyboard shortcuts has got to be Shift+F8, which is used for listbox discontiguous extended selection. Man, what a mouthful.

Candidate for most obscure keyboard shortcut: Shift+F8

Raymond Chen

August 8th, 2006

One of the most obscure keyboard shortcuts has got to be Shift+F8, which is used for listbox discontiguous extended selection. Man, what a mouthful. KB article Q301583 doesn’t help matters by listing this keyboard shortcut under “Dialog box keyboard shortcuts” even though it isn’t a dialog box keyboard shortcut. It’s a listbox keyboard shortcut. If the listbox supports extended selections (via LBS_EXTENDEDSEL ), then you can use the Shift+F8 shortcut to create discontiguous multiple selections from the keyboard. (Via the mouse, you can just Ctrl+Click to create a discontiguous multiple selection.) Type Shift+F8 once to enter extended selection mode, then use the arrow keys to select an item and press Ctrl+Space or Shift+Space to select (or deselect) it. When finished, type Shift+F8 again (or just move focus to some other window). And yes, this particular keyboard interface is pretty wacked out. A more natural mechanism would be to have Ctrl+Arrow move the focus without changing the selection, then using Ctrl+Space to select (or deselect) the focus item. Thankfully, the list view control went for that approach rather than emulating the crazy Shift+F8 keyboard shortcut.
