Keyboard Keys
Key Function
Enter Moves the cursor to the start of a new line. In most application
programs, it also executes a command.
Caps Lock When this key is engaged, the letter keys produce upper case
letters.
Shift When this key is pressed down along with another key, it
produces upper case letters (or the upper case character on
the keys). Also performs special functions when used in
combination with other keys.
Tab Moves the cursor horizontally to the next tab stop.
Esc Cancels or escapes from a command or a function.
F1 - F12 The keys on the top row of the keyboard labeled F1 through
F12 are called “function keys.” Special commands are defined
for each key. Refer to the user’s manual to determine the
function of each of these keys for a particular application
program. The BIOS also uses function keys to set some
configuration parameters.
Numeric These keys function as calculator keys when the “Num Lock”
light is on.
Keypad When the numeric keypad is active, the system disables the
alphabet keys doubling as numeric keypad keys.
Num Lock This key toggles the number pad between acting as numeric
keys or editing keys. When the keyboard “Num Lock” indicator
is lit, the number pad is active.
Prt Sc Sends the current information, showing on the display, to a
Sys Req connected printer. Pressing this key in conjunction with the
<Ctrl> key sends all output to a connected printer. Press this
key combination again to stop the function.
Back Space Deletes characters as it moves the cursor to the left. Use it to
correct typing mistakes.
Scroll Lock In some applications, information will move across the screen
differently when this key is engaged. It can change the text
scroll up and down feature.
