F3 and F4 on my mac are for the Dashboard and Mission Control.

What are these keys supposed to be doing?

On my mac the media keys (play, volume up/down, mute) are further to the right (F6,7,8,9 perhaps-not at my mac at the moment).


If you are indeed talking about media keys they changed a bit in High Sierra. They control not just iTunes but also QT Player and Safari.

On the rare occasions where they did not appear to work I found that they can be activated by first starting playback with a button or the space bar.
