Ctrl, Fn and Alt keys
The
Ctrl
,
Fn
, and
Alt
keys do different things depending on the
program you are using. For more information, see your program
documentation.
Character keys
Typing with character keys is very much like typing on a
typewriter, except:
❖
The spacebar creates a space character instead of just passing
over an area of the page.
❖
The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 are not interchangeable.
❖
The uppercase letter O and the number 0 (zero) are not
interchangeable.
❖
The
Caps Lock key
changes only the alphabet keys to uppercase
— the number and symbol keys are not affected.
Function keys F1 - F12
The function keys (not to be confused with the
Fn
key) are the 12
keys at the top of the keyboard.
Function keys
F1
through
F12
are called function keys because they run
programmed functions when you press them. Used in conjunction
with the
Fn
key, function keys marked with icons run specific
functions in the computer.
