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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

other.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Navigation keys (5)

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to clicking the right mouse button.

Numeric keypad area (7)

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 light illuminates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operator keys (8-11-12)

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 (9)

 

 

equivalent to clicking the Start button on the taskbar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<Fn> key (10)

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