Keys Descriptions
Escape key (1) The <Esc> (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
Function keys (2) The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard are used to perform
designated tasks. For example, in many applications, <F1> is the Help key. The
task associated with each function key may vary from one application to the next.
Print Screen key (3) The <Print Screen> key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and moves it
to the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into a document
and print it.
Correction keys (4) The <Insert>, <Back Space> and <Delete> keys enable you to make corrections.
Fn key (5) The <Fn> key is used in combination with other keys to execute commands.
Navigation keys (6) These keys enable you to move the cursor on the screen.
Application key (7)
The Application key displays a shortcut menu; pressing this key is equivalent to
clicking the right mouse button.
Numeric keypad area (8) Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric keypad area to
type numbers or to perform mathematical calculations such as addition and
subtraction. Note that you must press the <Num Lock> key to activate the
numeric keypad. When you do so, the <Num Lock> indicator illuminates.
Operator keys (9) Several keys are always used with at least one other key: <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and
<Shift>. When held down with another key, the <Ctrl> (Control) and <Alt>
(Alternate) keys offer another way to execute commands. For example, in many
applications, instead of choosing the Save command from a menu, you can hold
down <Ctrl> and press <S> (referred to as <Ctrl>+<S>). The <Shift> key is used
to produce capital letters or special symbols such as @ and $.
