Apple Functions Keys

The top row of keys on an Apple keyboard are called function keys. By default, these keyboard function keys are set up to control system features, as indicated by an icon on the key. For example, you can use F11 as a keyboard shortcut to show the desktop or to decrease your computer’s volume.

To use the function keys for TaxCycle keyboard shortcuts, change the following setting on your Mac:

1. On your Mac, go to System Settings.
2. Click Keyboard in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
3. Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
4. Click Function Keys in the sidebar.
5. Turn on Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.
6. Click Done.

Once you change this setting, you can still access the default Mac actions for these keys by pressing and holding the Fn key or Globe key (on newer Mac keyboards) while you press the function key.
