Answer:

A function key is a key on a computer or terminal keyboard which can be programmed so as to cause an operating system command interpreter or application program to perform certain actions, a form of soft key.

A function key is one of the "F" keys along the top of a computer keyboard. On some keyboards, these range from F1 to F12, while others have function keys ranging from F1 to F19.

Function keys may be used as single key commands (e.g., F5) or may be combined with one or more modifier keys (e.g., Alt+F4). In either case, function keys typically serve as keyboard shortcuts to perform a specific function.

While function keys have been included on keyboards since the 1960s, they have not had a standard purpose. Over the years, various operating systems and applications have made use of function keys in different ways. While each software developer can decide how to use the "F keys" in his or her program, some actions have been universally recognized.
