Description

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 key

The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows Start menu; it is

 

 

 

 

the equivalent of clicking the Start button on the taskbar. See

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Combinations and Functions with the Windows Key” on page 21.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 23.

 

 

 

 

 

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.
