- Nov 30, 2020 Press and hold the Fn (Function) key on your keyboard to see F1 through F12 in the Touch Bar. You can also make the function keys appear automatically when you use specific apps: Choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Keyboard. Click Shortcuts at the top of the window, then select Function Keys from the list on the left.
Control features on your Mac
By default, the top row of keys on your Apple keyboard control many different features on your Mac. For example, pressing the keys with speaker icons adjusts the volume.

Use standard function keys
Standard function keys work differently depending on the app and the keyboard shortcuts that you've set up. Some apps have their own keyboard shortcut preferences that you can customize.
To use the standard function keys, hold the Function (Fn)/Globe key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F12 (speaker icon) performs the action assigned to the F12 key instead of raising the volume of your speakers.
If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try pressing and holding the Control key when pressing a function key.
Change the default function key behavior
If you want to change the top row of keys to work as standard function keys without holding the Fn key, follow these steps:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
- Click Keyboard.
- Select 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'.
If you don't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'
If you don't see 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys', you might be using a keyboard not made by Apple. These keyboards might need a utility to change the keyboard functions. Check with your keyboard manufacturer for more information.

We’ve had a mountain of questions from you all so far and it’s been awesome watching everybody dissect the trailers and screenshots. We love reading your tweets, Facebook comments and forum posts so here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions so far.
Why are you not making a next gen F1 game?
We are making a next gen game! And most importantly we’re writing a brand new engine to go with it. The entire game experience is being re-engineered from the ground up and that’s why it wasn’t possible to release this year. Rest assured though, in addition to improvements in the physics, AI, and graphics, the game will launch much earlier in the Formula One season, and will then go onto receive a number of digital updates throughout the year! Read more about it here…
Where is the red stripe on the Williams Martini Racing car?
Well… this was quite the topic of conversation yesterday on Twitter between a lot of fans and those who work in the sport. So here’s the thing…we would have loved to have featured the full race livery and we worked very hard with all of our partners & sign off parties to come up with a solution. Unfortunately due to circumstances outside of our control we’ve had to use a modified livery for the game, just like Williams Martini Racing have to when competing in countries that prohibit the advertising of alcohol. We’re continuing to explore ways to address this in future releases.

Will the Classic Content return from F1 2013?
Last year we featured classic content as the sport itself hadn’t changed a great deal and we wanted to offer a different experience alongside the main 2013 content. However, seeing as 2014 has seen masses of changes to the sport itself, which is providing a different F1 experience for this year’s game and the fact that we are also working on a new generation F1 game, we’ve had to take a break from classic content this year. Don’t despair though, classic content is something we’re still very interested in and will explore again later in the series.
Will there be a new PC version when the next gen versions come out?
Yup, F1 2014 will be on PC, Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 all built in the same engine. The next gen version will be built on an all-new engine (we’d don’t to ports) and available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and of course PC.

When can we see new-gen F1 in action?
You’ll be hearing (and seeing!) a lot more about our new-gen F1 project once F1 2014 launches this October. We know you’re excited, and so are we, but we’re not ready to show off the game just yet.
What new features were you referring to during yesterday’s announcement?
Here’s some more info on some of the features we talked about during announcement.
- REFINED CAREER MODE Play through a full Formula One season or choose from shorter seasons, including 7 race and 12 race options.
- EXPANDED SCENARIO MODE The expanded Scenario mode features a range of different scenarios based on real-world challenges and moments from recent history.
- REFINED HANDLING The enhanced game physics combined with refined handling via gamepads delivers a more authentic and accessible driving experience for all players.
- DRIVER EVALUATION SYSTEM Replacing the Young Driver Test in-game is a new driver evaluation system. You’ll be launched right into a one lap race after loading F1 2014 for the first time. After completing the race the game then suggests an appropriate difficulty level dependant on your performance. To encourage the widest range of players to enjoy F1 2014, difficulty levels have been adjusted for periodic progression. Very Easy difficulty level is the most approachable yet for newcomers to the series, whilst the game’s hardest setting, with all of the driving aids switched off, will simulate the technical challenges facing F1 drivers of today.
- TURBO-CHARGED FORMULA ONE The introduction of turbochargers to the cars this year has increased both overtaking opportunities and the demands placed on drivers, as huge amounts of torque are unleashed under acceleration from these entirely new power units. The turbochargers require greater throttle control than before and, with last year’s high-pitched engine sounds replaced with a deeper growl, F1 2014 players will experience the dramatic effect in handling the world’s most advanced racing cars.
- ERS DEBUTS Following on from the success of KERS, ERS – Electronic Recovery System – makes a dramatic debut in F1 2014 with 10 times the capacity of last season’s KERS system, ERS now generates an extra 160bhp for around 33 seconds which is delivered to drivers instantly, opening up more overtaking opportunities.
