TAG 100 manual Using the Keyboard, Typewriter Keys, Cursor-Control Keys

Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer

keyboard plus a Fn. key added for specific functions.

The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four

major categories:

Typewriter keys

Cursor-control keys

Numeric keys

Function keys

Typewriter Keys

Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. The Control key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Alternate key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are using. When the lock keys (Caps Lock, Num Lk, and Scroll Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators light up on the computer’s device indicators.

Cursor-Control Keys

NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
