Using the keyboard
Your computer’s keyboard contains character keys, control keys,
function keys, and special Windows® keys, providing all the
functionality of a full-size keyboard.

Character keys

Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a
typewriter, except that:
The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing
over an area of the page.
The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not
interchangeable.
The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not
interchangeable.

Making your keyboard emulate a full-size keyboard

Although your computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with a
standard full-size keyboard, it has fewer keys.
A standard full-size keyboard has two Enter, Ctrl, and Alt keys,
editing keys, cursor positioning keys, and a numeric keypad.
Pressing the Fn key simultaneously in combination with one of the
specially marked keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard.
