Lenovo Yoga Laptops - Function Keys Overview By LenovoSupport

Some keys on your Yoga laptop are printed with icons. These keys are called hotkeys and can be pressed alone or in combination with the with Fn key as a quick way to change settings without having to click through multiple menus. The FnLock is a switch that keeps the Fn key active, so you can access the hotkeys directly. The FnLock switch shares the ESC key in the upper left corner of the keyboard.
