Keys | Descriptions | ||||
Print Screen key | The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the | ||||
|
|
|
|
| screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can |
|
|
|
|
| then paste the screen shot into a document and print it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 $. |

Fn key | The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to | ||||
