|
|
|
|
|
Navigation keys | Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the screen. | |||
|
|
|
|
|
Function keys | 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
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 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’s the equivalent of clicking the Start button on the task bar. See |
|
|
|
| "Combinations and functions with the Windows® key" for further |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| details. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fn key | The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to issue | |||
|
|
|
| commands. See “Combinations and functions with the Fn key”. |
|
|
|
|
|
Applications key | The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of | |||
|
|
|
| choices; pressing this key is the equivalent of clicking the right mouse |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| button. |
