Navigation keys
Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the
screen.
Correction keys
The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to
make corrections in your documents.
Function keys
The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard
are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in
many applications, F1 is the Help key. The task
associated with each function key may vary from one
application to the next.
Escape key
The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
Print Screen key
The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the
screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You can
then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.
Operator keys
Several keys are always used with at least one other key:
Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with another key,
the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate) keys offer another
way to give commands. For example, in many
applications, instead of choosing the Save command from
a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press S (referred to
as Ctrl+S). The Shift key is used to produce capital letters
or special symbols such as @ and $.
