The Amiga Keyboard 2-9

Help

The

Help

key, located to

the

right

of

the

Del key,

is

a

program-defined

key

that

applications

can

use

to provide

additional

information

or

user

assistance

while

a

program

is

running.

The

Arrow

Keypad

The

four

arrow

keys

are

grouped

in

a

small

keypad

at

the

lower

right

side

of

the

keyboard,

between

the

main

keyboard

and

the

numeric

keypad.

These

keys

control

the

movement

of

the

cursor

(up, down, left,

and

right)

on

the

screen.

The

direction

in

which

each

key

moves

the

cursor

is

indicated

by

the

direction

of

the

arrow

on

the

key.

These

keys

may

also

have

special functions

with

different

qualifier

keys,

depending

on

the

application.

Keyboard Equivalents to the Mouse

You

can

use

the

keyboard

in

addition

to

or

instead

of

the

mouse

to

move

around

the

screen

and

select icons,

gadgets,

and

windows.

In

programs

that

mainly

use

the

keyboard

to

enter

information,

this

can

be

faster

and

more convenient.

The

keyboard

equivalents

are

also

useful

if

your

mouse

is

malfunctioning,

or

when

you

need

to

make

extremely

precise

pointer

movements.

The

following

key

combinations

are

available

from

any

application,

to

let

you perform mouse

movement

and

button

presses

with

the

keyboard.
