Key		Purpose
		Moves the cursor one tab to the right in normal
		mode and one tab to the left in Shift mode.
Caps Lock		Changes the letter keys from lower- to
		uppercase; changes back to lowercase when
		pressed again. The numeric/symbol keys on
		the top row of the keyboard and the symbol
		keys in the main part of the keyboard are not
		affected.
Shift		Produces uppercase characters or the top
		symbols on the keys when used with the
		main character keys. Produces lowercase
		characters when the Caps Lock function is on.
Ctrl		Works with other keys to perform special
		(control) functions, such as editing operations
		in MS-DOS and various application programs.
