Dell computer keyboard SK 8125
I would like to know what are the function keys on this keyboard? I have spoke to Dell and they are clueless about a keyboard they made. Please somebody help me.

I cannot find a User's Manual for such an old keyboard. The F key functions change based on the operating system. You will just need to experiment.
F1 opens Help for whateverapplication is running
F2 allows you to rename a file that is highlighted at the moment
F3 Opens the Windows Find feature
F4 Activates the browser address bar
F5 Refreshes the browser
F6 Acts as Tab key in Windows explorer boxes
F7 No function unless a 3rd party application assigns one
F8 Allows booting into safemode
F9 No function unless a 3rd party application assigns one
F10 Activates the menu bar in applications
F11 Maximizes the browser
F12 Allows booting into drive choices

F12 also Ejects the DVD if you use this keyboard on a mac.
ALT F4 closes popups quickly and or shuts down a program that is running.
My most recent keyboard from Dell seems strangely like a mac keyboard with a CLEAR key on the numlock side.
WIN8 adds some new ones as well.
