What the Keys Do (continued)
Editing and Movement Keys
Backspace - located above the Enter key. It may be labeled as
Bksp or as an arrow pointing to the left. The Backspace key moves
the insertion point to the left one space, erasing the characters in its
path.
Down Arrow - moves the insertion point down one line.
End - moves the insertion point to the end of the line or screen.
Home - moves the insertion point to the top left side of the current page or screen.
Left Arrow - moves the insertion point to the left one space.
Page Down - scrolls the screen page down to the next page.
Page Up - scrolls the screen page up to the previous page.
Right Arrow - moves the insertion point to the right one space.
Tab - moves the insertion point to the next tab setting or field. Typically, Shift+ Tab
moves the insertion point back one tab setting or field.
Up Arrow - moves the insertion point up one line.
Num Lock (Num Lk) - toggles the numeric keypad. When the Num Lock light is on,
the keys on the right side of the keyboard work like a ten-key calculator. When the
Num Lock light is out, the keys move the insertion point.
Special Key Combinations
Ctrl + Alt + Del - restarts the computer. Also called a “warm boot” because it clears
the memory, resets, and reboots the computer without stopping the hard drive. This will
not save your current work.
Ctrl + Alt + S - Run SETUP program (from the DOS prompt or during bootup).
Ctrl + Break or Ctrl + C - Break out of the current program.
