•
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.
•
Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F11/F12], are used to produce special actions that vary
depending on what program is running. They are also used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to
perform certain tasks, as detailed below under “Function Keys”.
•
Windows key: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the
onscreen Start menu button (Start key), or the right button on your pointing device (Application key).
Numeric Keypad
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad
keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the
same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ),
subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated
as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to
indicate their secondary functions. (Figure 9)
Windows Keys
Your LifeBook MH380 mini-notebook has two Windows keys: a Start key and an Application key. The
Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The
Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the
selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the
Windows keys.) (Figure 9)
Cursor Keys
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down,
left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the
next item up, down, left, or right).
