Descriptions

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 equivalent to clicking the Start button on the taskbar.

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