Description

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 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

 

taskbar. See “Combinations and Functions with the Windows

 

Key”.

 

 

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 context-

 

sensitive choices. Pressing this key is the equivalent of clicking

 

the right mouse button.
