Am I losing features working from a separate keyboard ?

[rocpapershotgum]

Hello and grand holiday greetings to all here. I have a new HP Pavillion 15 -cc187cl I7 8550 CPU. I have made it into a desktop with all peripherals; monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, some through a hub. I have it on a cooler/blower on shelf several inchers about my monitor. The lid is closed and I have a lite, cloth cover over the laptop to keep the dust away.

My question is... am I missing features on this laptop working from a separate keyboard? I have everything I need at the moment with assigned buttons of my choice of 'screen shot' program, my HP printer, etc. and best yet, I have a 'mute volume' button  :smileyvery-happy::  on my keyboard without reaching for the mouse to lower volume. Would like to program a 'Power' button from my separate keyboard too(I will check that soon.) I have a Logiteah K350 keyboard. Wondering if I  am losing features not working from the actual laptop keyboard and what might they be? I do not care about the 'touch' screen features. Hey Thanks!

@rocpapershotgum, welcome back to the forum.

While I am not fully familar with the keyboard on your notebook or the discrete keyboard, I don't believe that you are missing any features.  All of the keys on the notebook keyboard are marked with a symbol that tells you what they do.  For instance, the half moon shape is for Sleep mode.
