Operating Your Tablet PC 2-5
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 (Ctrl) is normally used in combination with other keys for
program-specific functions. The Alternate key (Alt) is normally used in
combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape
key (Esc) 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 Lock, and Scroll Lock)
are pressed, their corresponding indicators light up on the Tablet PC front
panel’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.
