Using the Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus an
Fn
key added for specific functions.
The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:
Typewriter keys
Cursor-control keys
Numeric keys
Function keys
Typewriter Keys
Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the
Ctrl
,
Alt
,
Esc
, and lock keys for special purposes.
The Control (
Ctrl
) / Alternate (
Alt
) key is normally used in combination with
other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (
Esc
) key is usually
used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a
command. The function depends on the program you are using.
Cursor-Control Keys
Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.
