function keys on a thinkoutside bt keyboard

i have a thinkoutside bt keyboard, the "sonoma" model and it's paired with my samsung q1p. i thought i would miss having a dedicated row of numbers, but i've learned to work around it. what i do miss, however, are the function keys of (f1-f12). i thought i read somewhere that you could use a series of key presses to emulate the function keys, but tech on the other end of the support line said that there was no such thing. then, i remembered that i thought i saw the article on jkontherun. that's when i found this post. sure enough, using the left fn key plus the keys on the "a through l" row acted as the function keys.

i tried calling support back to let them know what i found, but it was past their support hours.
