What is they key between F12 and F13 on the Magic Keyboard (pre-TouchID version)?

What does this button do, and does it have a name?:


Just curious. Thanks in advance if you answer. Sorry in advance if you point me to the 50 times this has been answered or to some other forum.

That's the Eject key. If the computer has an optical drive, the eject key will eject a disc or open the tray. If the computer has two optical drives, Shift-Eject will open the second drive.


Control-Eject brings up a Restart/Sleep/Shutdown control panel. Adding Option or Command modifies things.
