Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Print Screen key

The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the

 

 

 

 

 

screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can

 

 

 

 

 

then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operator keys

Several keys are always used with at least one other key:

 

 

 

 

 

Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with another key,

 

 

 

 

 

the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate) keys offer another

 

 

 

 

 

way to give commands. For example, in many

 

 

 

 

 

applications, instead of choosing the Save command from

 

 

 

 

 

a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press S (referred to

 

 

 

 

 

as Ctrl+S). The Shift key operates the same way as on a

 

 

 

 

 

typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters or special

 

 

 

 

 

symbols such as @ and $.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Windows 98 key

The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows 98

 

 

 

 

 

Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking the Start button

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the taskbar. See “Combinations and Functions with

 

 

 

 

 

the Windows 98 Key” on page 18.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fn key

The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to

 

 

 

 

 

issue commands. See “Combinations and Functions with

 

 

 

 

 

the Fn Key” on page 20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applications key

The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of

 

 

 

 

 

context-sensitive choices. Pressing this key is the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
