Typewriter keys — The typewriter keys (also called al-
phanumeric keys) are used almost exactly as those on a
typewriter. Keys that behave differently do so when
combined with control keys or function keys.
■ Cursor control keys — Cursor control keys let you po-
sition the cursor on the screen wherever you want. On
the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block or
pointer, depending on the application. The cursor shows
where the text typed next will appear.
■ Numeric keypad — Pressing Num Lock activates the
numeric keypad when no external keyboard or scanner is
connected. The numeric keys are printed in blue. The
keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical oper-
ands (+, –) as you would on a calculator. The keypad is
ideal for entering long lists of numbers.
■ Control keys — Control keys include Ctrl, Alt, Fn, and
Shift. They are 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 ex-
ample, “press
Ctrl c” means to hold down the Ctrl key
and type the letter
c. How the key combination works
depends on the application you are running. Other con-
trol keys include
Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Ins. (For
detailed descriptions, see the online information.)
