Welcome back to another exciting edition of “What the F-key?”
Today our special guest stars are F5 through F8. Let’s give them
a warm round of applause! Just to recap, the function keys are
the line of “F” keys going across the top of your keyboard going
from F1 to F12. As before, we’ll be covering the ALT, CTRL and
Shift functions of these keys to see what they do. Note: Do not
expect all of these key combinations to work. Some of them may
be program specific, or obsolete. If you’re slamming the keys
and nothing is happening, move on! Shift + F5 = Move to a
previous revision (MS Word) CTRL + F5 = Unconditional Refresh
(Refreshes Internet Explorer from Internet, not cache) ALT + F5
= Closes the Word Program (although nothing happened for me)
CTRL + F5 = Restore document window size (Apparently not
functional) Shift + F6 = Program specific. Experiment at your
own risk, and don’t forget to save your work first! CTRL + F6 =
Cycles forwards between open windows within a program CTRL +
Shift + F6 = Cycles backward
