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 $.
Windows 98 key The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows 98
Start menu; it’s the equivalent of clicking the Start button
on the task bar. See “Combinations and Functions with
the Windows 98 Key” on page 27.
Fn key The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to
issue commands. See “Combinations and Functions with
the Fn Key” on page 29.
Applications key The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of
context-sensitive choices; pressing this key is the
equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
