Using the keyboard

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.

Sample 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.
