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.
They include:
 Up, down, left, and right arrow keys
 Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys (used with the Fn key)
 Insert and Delete keys
NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you
know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take
the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
