Combinations and Functions with the Windows Key
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 operates the same way as on
a typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters or special symbols
such as @ and $.
Windows key
The key with the Windows logo displays the Windows Start menu;
it is the equivalent of clicking the Start button on the task bar. See
“Combinations and Functions with the Windows Key” on page 30.
Fn key
The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to issue
commands. The Fn keys at the left and right sides both work the
same. See “Combinations and Functions with the Fn Key” on
page 32.
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.
