Primary Keys
Key Description
Alt
The
Alt
(alternate) key is used with other keys to perform special tasks. On some operating systems
pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del twice soft reboots the device.
Backspace The Backspace key, sometimes represented on the keyboard as a left arrow, moves the cursor one
position to the left. The character to the left of the cursor is erased.
Caps Lock Pressing the Caps Lock key one time locks keys A through Z in the UPPER CASE position. Pressing the
Caps Lock key again returns the letters to lower case. While in the upper case mode, pressing the Shift
key results in lowercase characters when entered. You still have to use the Shift key to display characters
located on the upper portion of the keyboard. For example, press Shift + 8 to type an asterisk (*), even
when the Caps Lock key is activated.
The Caps Lock LED lights when the keyboard is in Caps Lock mode.
Ctrl The Ctrl (control) key works with other keys to perform a variety of functions.
Enter The Enter key signals the device that you have completed your entry. This is your way of telling the
device to process the information that you have entered.
Esc The Esc (escape) key allows you to exit a pop-up window or message box.
PrtSc In Windows, pressing the PrtSc (print screen) key or Alt + PrtSc key copies the current screen or window
to the clipboard so you can paste it into documents.
Shift The Shift key changes the keys A through Z to the UPPER CASE position. When you press an alphabetic
key, the character appears as a capital letter. When you press Shift with other keys, the characters on the
upper part of the keys appear. For example, pressing Shift + 7 displays an ampersand (&).
Fn
Some special
Fn
(function) keys have been established to perform important tasks when pressed in
combination with the Fn key. These keys are described later in this document. The Fn key legend is color
keyed to other special keys on the keyboard.
Spacebar Use the Spacebar to enter a space and move the cursor one character to the right.
Tab The TAB key moves the cursor to the next tab stop or field. Tab stops are defined by your operating
system or application program. Press the Tab key to move from one field or text box to another.
