F5 or F6 function key are they make fast the connection speed if I press on of them while it processing ?

Question

some of the users are pressing these keys when they open the email or any other site.

Answer 1

Speed advantages aside, function keys are strictly limited to the tasks that programmers map to them. However, you can download programs from the Internet that let you customize function keys.

A $15 shareware program, Real Function Keys 1.4 from KillerSoftware (http://www.killersoftware.com ), is for Win95, 98, and NT. Assign commands to function keys to launch applications and open files. Add key commands with CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT for more options.

Another shareware program, the $13 +My Function Keys 4.0 from RegSoft.com, works with Win3.1, 95, 98, and NT. With it, you can assign text, such as a standard e-mail reply, frequently used e-mail addresses, or common phrases, to a function key. +My Function Keys lets you map macros and shortcut keystrokes, such as CTRL-C for copying highlighted text, to a function key.
This might help you :

When you remap a function key, you override tasks normally assigned to it. If you use Real Function Keys to program F1 to launch your browser, F1 will no longer open the Help menu in applications that normally assign that task to the F1 key. However, many of these programs let you disable the custom program feature if you want to return to your function keys' default settings.

F5
The F5 key is the refresh key. You can press F5 when viewing a Web page to make sure that you have the most current version of that Web page. You can also use F5 when in Windows to refresh the screen. This can be a handy shortcut. If perhaps you are viewing the contents of a floppy disk and you insert a new floppy, your screen will still show the contents of the first floppy. Just press F5 to refresh the screen and see the contents of the floppy you just inserted.

F6
This key is often used to move the cursor around the structure of the program. Pressing it will often cycle you from window to window.

Answer 3

Well, F5 while working in a web browser will refresh the content on the page. This doesn't necessarily "speed up" the process, but if the page hangs or doesn't quite load properly, sometimes refreshing the site will fix the issue.

Answer 4

No not normally, they do different things depending on what program you are in. Or if on a laptop they could be for the volumn. Look at the keys themselves, they could have writing in them. If a desktop is where you are, no they do not speed up the computer!
