	Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - function keys
		A more narrow definition is needed, however, for function keys—a row of keys on a keyboard whose operations change depending on the program the user is working in.
		Another thing you'll learn is that sometimes a function key won't have an assigned function unless you've highlighted something on-screen-similar to commands in a pull-down menu.
		Remember, function keys serve the overall purpose of giving users shortcuts for performing commands—whether you're working in your favorite program or even installing one.

	Killing F Lock (i.e. restoring the function keys on Microsoft keyboards) (Udolpho)
		This is the new key that allows you to toggle between using the new Microsoft function keys and using the old PC function keys.
		Microsoft decided to make the function keys twice as brain-damaging to use by enabling their new behaviors every time the keyboard is powered on.
		Because the function key behavior toggles without user input, you can never be sure what state the F Lock is without checking the indicator light, a nuisance for wireless keyboard users because the indicator LED is an anemic little green bar recessed in the wireless receiver.

		If the function key has a word as its label, then that word is also the name of the corresponding Lisp symbol.
		A key sequence which contains function key symbols (or anything but ASCII characters) must be a vector rather than a string.
		Thus, to bind function key `f1' to the command `rmail', write the following: (global-set-key [f1] 'rmail) To bind the right-arrow key to the command `forward-char', you can use this expression: (global-set-key [right] 'forward-char) This uses the Lisp syntax for a vector containing the symbol `right'.

		This function key can be used under Windows for invoking the menu bar and with the shift modifier to display the context sensitive menu.
		The functionality of cycling through the visible bars (menus and controls) is very helpful, but I think that it is misplaced with F6 and should more logical be assigned to F10, as it retains F10's basic function and simply widens the functionality.
