facilitate your work:

Cursor Control keys — Cursor control keys let you position the cursor
on the screen where you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking
underline, block, or vertical bar depending on the application. The cursor
indicates where the next typed character will be inserted.
Typewriter keys — The typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys)
are used to enter text. Keys with blue printing on them behave differently
when combined with
Fn
.
Numeric Keypad — Pressing
NumLock
on the keyboard activates the
numeric keypad numbers and functions printed in blue on top of these
keys.
The keypad lets you type numbers, a decimal point and mathematical
operands (+, –, *, /) as you would on a calculator. The keypad is ideal for
entering long lists of numbers.
To use the numeric keypad, press
NumLock
. When you press
NumLock
again, the keys revert to their normal functions as typewriter keys.
Holding the
Fn
key down while pressing cursor control keys on the nu-
meric keypad makes the keys function as control keys.
Control keys —
Ctrl, Alt, Fn
, and
Shift
are controls used in conjunction
with other keys to change their functions. To use control keys, press and
hold the control key while pressing another key. For example, “press
Ctrl
c
” means to hold down the
Ctrl
key and type the letter
c
. How the key
combination works depends on the applications you are running.
