Key	Description
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 $.
Windows key	The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows Start menu; it is
	the equivalent of clicking the Start button on the taskbar. See
	“Combinations and Functions with the Windows Key” on page 21.
Fn key	The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to issue commands.
	See “Combinations and Functions with the Fn Key” on page 23.
Applications key	The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of context-sensitive
	choices. Pressing this key is the equivalent of clicking the right mouse
	button.
