EXAMPLE: Pressing the green [SHFT] key and then the [DEL] key produces a dot instead of deleting the character at the cursor. The nearby keys on that row [CTRL], [ALT], and [ESC] still behave normally when the green [SHFT] is pressed first.
This is why annunciators are absolutely crucial, since you must only press one key at a time. The annunciators tell you which shift key you are pressing and holding down. Re- fer to page
Pressing more than one shift key along with another key may not always produce the result you expected. This hap- pens as a result:
"Of the sequence of keys pressed, and
"The mode your computer is in at the time the key is pressed.
There is no problem when you press the green [SHFT] and the yellow key. But if you press the [SHFT] and either the blue or yellow shift key, you usually experience different results than you expect.
Summary of Shift Key Combinations
"Green [SHFT] and either blue or yellow shift key and another keystroke, no confusion
"Green [SHFT] and blue and yellow shift key along with another key, confusion can occur
This is similar to your PC, if the NUM LOCK or CAPS LOCK is engaged then pressing shift and a key usually pro- duces something other than what you want. Therefore, just like with a PC, to get the result you want you have to change a mode or the sequence you press the keys.
