When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters are typed in uppercase.

 

 

Num Lock

When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is in numeric mode. The

Fn + F11

keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /).

 

When Num Lock is off, the keys assume cursor and other shortcut functions.

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up

Fn + F12

or down arrow keys respectively. scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
