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.
Your computer’s keyboard has only one Enter and one Ctrl key.
Most of the time, this does not matter. However, some
programs assign separate functions to the right and left Ctrl
and Alt keys, or to the regular and numeric pad Enter keys on
the full-sized keyboard. Using the Fn key, you can simulate
these separate keys, as follows:
❖Press Fn and Ctrl simultaneously to simulate the Ctrl key on
the right side of the enhanced keyboard.
❖Press Fn and Enter simultaneously to simulate the Enter key
on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard.

The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the
program you are using. For more information, see your
program documentation.
