9. The Keyboard
This section contains useful information about using the keyboard.
9.1. The Alt, Alt Gr and Ctrl Bbuttons
The Alt key is used in combination with other keys to perform particular functions.
These functions are determined by the program being used. To enter a keyboard
shortcut with the Alt key, press and hold down the Alt key while you press the other
key. The Alt Gr key works in a similar way to the Alt key, but is used to obtain special
characters. The Ctrl key (Control) performs program functions in the same fashion
as the Alt key. Useful keyboard shortcuts (dependent on software):
