Overlay keys
Sample numeric and cursor control overlay
The keys with gray numbers and symbols on the front of
them form the numeric and cursor overlay. This overlay lets
you enter numeric data or control the cursor as you would
using the 10-key keypad on a desktop computer’s keyboard.
Using the overlay to type numeric data
To turn the numeric overlay on, press
Fn
and
F11
simultaneously. The numeric mode light on the keyboard
indicator panel glows when the numeric overlay is on.
You can still use the overlay keys to type alphabetic
characters while the numeric overlay is on. To do so:
❖
For lowercase letters, hold down
Fn
while you type the
letters.
❖
For uppercase letters, hold down both
Fn
and
Shift
while
you type the letters.
To use the cursor control overlay when the numeric overlay is
on, press and hold down
Shift
while you use the cursor control
keys. To return to the numeric overlay, release
Shift
.
