Using The Function Keys
Is there a setting where I don't have to hold down the "FN" key to use the Function keys. I have games that require them, so having to hold down FN is a pain. Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no way to disregard the FN key if you wish to use the function keys of your Toshiba Satellite L955-S5362 laptop. This is because the FN key is designed by Toshiba to complete the keyboard functions of your laptop.
Remember that a laptop has only a small space to fit all the function keys, num pads and other keyboard keys similar to the desktop keyboard. However, you can use an external laptop keyboard which can be connected via USB port. You can buy compatible keyboards at Amazon.com. Here is the product list link:
