"You can use the number row in place of function keys, simply by holding down function and pressing the number you want. For example, our vo-cmd-f5 command would be the VO modifier, command key, function key, and the number 5. It is important to note that this extends to the accent key, above the tab key; pressing this with the function key is the same as pressing escape."
