Keyboard Basics
The keyboard on the GoBook computer looks much like the keyboard of a typewriter and operates in almost the
same way. While typewriter keys put characters on paper, the keys on the laptop enter characters in the computer and
perform certain functions, depending on the application or program. Typing skills are helpful but are not essential
because typing short commands or responses is easy.
The GoBook computer features:
•
87-key US / UK keyboard; 89-key international keyboard
•
Twelve function keys,
F1-F12
•
Embedded numeric keypad
•
Mouse keys and cursor control keys
