The Keyboard
The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/region’s
keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for numerous
languages are available.
There are four types of keys: typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys and
Windows special keys.
Typewriter Keys
The typewriter keys produce the uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the
screen.
Notes:
■ Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces,
which are created by a “space character,” may also vary depending on
line justification and other factors.
■ The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable.
■ The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable.
■ The CAPS LOCK function key locks only the alphabetic characters in
uppercase.
Function Keys: F1 … F12
The function keys, not to be confused with FN, are the 12 keys at the top of
your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the
other dark gray keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the FN
key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer.
See the section, Soft Keys: FN Key Combinations in this chapter. The
function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are
using.
