F1, F2 and F3 are used for switching devices, e.g. I have F1 set for my laptop, F2 for my iPhone and F3 for my Apple TV. The media keys are as follows: F7 is previous/rewind, F8 is Play/Pause and F9 is forward/skip F10 is Mute, F11 is volume down and F12 is volume up.
I believe it also depends what your laptop function keys do, for example, if no media is playing then for me on my Asus Zenbook FN + F9 toggles the touchpad on and off. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Yohandy Rodriguez Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2019 9:31 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Best choice for a bluetooth keyboard Sieghard, Did you figure out all function keys? that's one thing I'm trying to figure out. read the quickstart guide but that thing's a pain to deal with when using a screen reader due to its layout. It'll probably benefit us all if you have that info. thanks in advance for any help!
