Hotkeys
Some keys on the keyboard are printed with icons. These keys are called hotkeys and can be pressed alone
or in combination with the Fn key to access certain Windows functions or settings quickly. The functions of
hotkeys are symbolized by the icons printed on them.

Hotkey mode
Some hotkeys share keys with functions keys (F1 to F12). The hotkey mode is a UEFI/BIOS setting that
