Key | Description | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
Function keys | The 12 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Escape key | The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 $. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows key | The key with the Windows logo displays the | ||||
|
|
|
|
| Windows Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| the Start button on the task bar. See “Combinations |
|
|
|
|
| and Functions with the Windows Key” on page 35. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fn key | The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to | ||||
|
|
|
|
| issue commands. The Fn keys at the left and right |
|
|
|
|
| sides both work the same. See “Combinations and |
|
|
|
|
| Functions with the Fn Key” on page 37. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applications key | The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of | ||||
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| equivalent of clicking the right mouse button. |
