Default function keys

About function keys

• Function keys at the top of the keyboard (<F1>, <F2>, <F3>, etc.) are used alone or combined with the <Alt>, <Ctrl>, or <Shift> keys as shortcuts to carry out client functions.
  Example: <F2> opens the Search WorldCat window, if you are logged on, or the Logon OCLC window if not.
• Function key shortcuts are only a subset of preassigned keystroke shortcuts for client functions (see a complete list of default keystrokes for all commands).
• All functions in the client can be performed by the keyboard.
• Function keys and any other default keystroke shortcuts can be reassigned (customized).

Function key template

To print a hard-copy template to place on your keyboard as a quick reference:

1. Open the Function key template for OCLC Connexion client.
2. Print the template, cut and fold it, and place it above the function keys on your keyboard.
3. (Optional) Use the blank side to record any changes you make to the function key assignments if you customize them.

Function keys listed on menus

The client displays many of the default function keys next to the commands on menus. If you change the assignments, the client changes the display to the new key assignments, once you close and re-open the client.
