Notebook

 

 

Escape key (1)

The <Esc> (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Function keys (2)

The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard are used to perform

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

designated tasks. For example, in many applications, <F1> is the Help key. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

task associated with each function key may vary from one application to the next.

Print Screen key (3)

The <Print Screen> key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and moves it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into a document

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and print it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correction keys (4)

The <Insert>, <Back Space> and <Delete> keys enable you to make corrections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fn key (5)

The <Fn> key is used in combination with other keys to execute commands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Navigation keys (6)

These keys enable you to move the cursor on the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Application key displays a shortcut menu; pressing this key is equivalent to

 

 

 

 

Application key (7)

 

 

 

 

 

 

clicking the right mouse button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numeric keypad area (8)

Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric keypad area to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type numbers or to perform mathematical calculations such as addition and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

subtraction. Note that you must press the <Num Lock> key to activate the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

numeric keypad. When you do so, the <Num Lock> indicator illuminates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operator keys (9)

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 execute 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 is used

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to produce capital letters or special symbols such as @ and $.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The key with the Windows® logo displays the Windows® Start menu; it is

 

 

 

 

Windows® key (10)

 

 

equivalent to clicking the Start button on the taskbar.
