On a laptop you typically need to hold down the Fn key as you press one of the function keys. So, press Fn+F11 and you should be set.

Hi, I knew the F11 since .... a long time. Now, I've got a Laptop since 6 month, and here, F11 switches airplane mode on and of, and shift+F11 does nothing. Is there another shortcut for jumping from field do field now? or can I somehow kick the airplane-feature?
thanks
