WINDOWS KEYS

Your notebook has three Windows keys, two Start keys and an Application key. The two Start keys display the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key func- tions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional infor- mation regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-12)

CURSOR KEYS

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right). (Figure 2-12)

FUNCTION KEYS

Your notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software docu- mentation to find out how these keys are used. (Figure 2-12)
