This will bring up a small pop-up menu with different options, including the suggested spelling(s) for your word. Use the down arrow key to select the spelling you want, and the Enter key to select it.

In most applications, press CTRL + S or CMD + S on a computer running macOS. You can also press the ALT key and then press the underlined letter to access the menubar at the top of your screen. You would press ALT and then F to get to "File" and then S to get to "Save."

It stands for "function." It's a modifier key, much like ctrl, alt, or shift. It's mainly used by keyboard/laptop manufacturers to increase the functionality of a keyboard without increasing the number of keys. They may map media controls, common commands, and hardware specific options to fn + another key (commonly the f-keys on top). Some laptops compress the keyboard layout by mapping the number-pad to fn + letter keys, or compress the special keys and lock keys by doubling up functionality. Often, if you see two things printed on a key on the keyboard, the larger/one on top is the primary usage, and the second is accessed by holding down the function key while pressing it.
