Keith, on my keyboard that group of nine keys just to the right of the backspace, the middle one on the left says help in keyboard help. also, if we talk about those nine keys in terms of horizontal rows, there is a slight space between the top row and the bottom two.Now I'll list those nine keys as they are listed in keyboard help and by horizontal rows:


Row 1: f14, f15, f16
Row 2: help, home, page up
Row 3: forward delete, end, page down
hth.

Ok Sam, maybe I was not clear.

On my standard keyboard there is a group of 9 keys. Counting from the top left of the 9 keys, the second one down is the FN key and if I use keyboard help, VO keys-k pressing that key says, "FN".

Hmmm, that key says help in my keyboard help. So I guess my question then is this: In doing the sl upgrade if my function keys should get set to hardware, how would I change it back to software? I'm going to do just the sl upgrade having already done a backup.

Hi Sam,

I have a standard MAC keyboard and the FN key is the middle one on the left in the group of 9 keys just to the right of the main keyboard.

HTH.

As previously noted this is a standard Mac keyboard on a Mac mini. My bottom left key is control and my bottom right key is enter on the num pad so those are the ones. Also keyboard help doesn't identify the fn key. The only reason I asked if it might be the f13 key is because that one is slightly larger.

The fuction key is either the bottom left or bottom right on your keyboard, depending on your mac.

Hey, folks,

I'm just about to upgrade to sl here on my Mac mini and I just want to make sure I know where the fn key is on my keyboard before I begin in case I need to use it. It's a standard Mac keyboard but not the one with the really flat keys; on this one the keys have nice finger indentations on top. Is it by any chance the f13 key?
