compukiss.com — Commonly referred to as Function Keys, these keys were frequently used in the good old days of DOS programs. You can probably use your computer without ever using one of these keys, yet, these function keys provide some interesting shortcuts for common computer functions that can be useful tools in everyday computing.

@Topher06I've been using a computer for oh, probably all my life (24yo) and I had no idea what a few of the Function keys did. Not everyone who Diggs know the "ins and outs" of everything computer related.

You can make an Autohotkey script that remaps your F1 key to act as Esc. This is all you need:f1::escape

I just fixed my blasted F-Lock issue on my old Logitech Keyboard a couple days ago. The registry hack was close, but kills some of the media buttons and stuff.Make sure your iTouch Driver is the most current (this was half my issue). Then turn F-lock on and go in the options and for set the function for each F key to "keystroke" and hit the correct key (i.e. assign F7 to the key F7 key instead of print). This still allows the media play/stop/next keys to work but makes the function keys work right no matter if F-Lock is off or on. All the combos (Alt + F4 work too).
