Description
CTRL
The CTRL (control) key works with other keys to perform a variety of functions.
ENTER
The ENTER key signals the computer that you have completed your entry. This is
your way of telling the computer to process the information that you have entered.
ESC
The ESC (escape) key cancels the current line if you are working in DOS. In some
DOS applications, pressing the ESC key backs you out of your last menu selection.
In Windows, the ESC key allows you to exit a pop-up window or message box.

In Windows, pressing the FN+PRTSC (print screen) key copies the current screen or

key copies the active window to the clipboard.
SHIFT
The SHIFT key changes the keys A through Z to the UPPER CASE position. When
you press an alphabetic key, the character appears as a capital letter. When you press
SHIFT with other keys, the characters on the upper part of the keys appear. For
example, pressing SHIFT+7 displays an ampersand (&).
