Descriptions

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

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.
