Key

Description

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 98 key

The key with the Windows logo displays the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Windows 98 Start menu; it is the equivalent of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

clicking the Start button on the task bar. See

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Combinations and Functions with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Windows 98 Key” on page 17.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 19.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applications key

The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of

 

 

 

 

 

 

context-sensitive choices; pressing this key is the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
