Hi, It all depends on your settings in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. There is a checkbox in that pane that reads something to the effect of “Use all F1, F2 and other F-keys as Standard Function Keys”. If that item is checked, then whatever function is assigned to that key will work right away without any extra key-press. But, you will then need to hold down the FN key to access the Media Keys (F7, F8 and F9), the volume adjustment keys (F10, F11 and F12), the Display and Keyboard brightness keys (F1, F2, F5 and F6) etc. I tend to leave this item unchecked so that these functions are quicker and easier to perform whereas I then need to hold down the FN key along with many VO commands such as FN-VO-shift-f3 to Interact.
