Omni Key Keyboard User's Guide
Keyboard Layout
This section describes the physical lay-
out of the OmniKey keyboard. More
detailed explanations of the functions
of the keys are given later. The illus-
trations on pages 25-26 show the lay-
outs of the OmniKey Keyboards.
The keys are arranged in four major
groups:
• The typewriter keys. Use these
keys to type letters, numbers and
special characters. Some special
keys like TAB, ESC, and CAPS LOCK
are also found here.
• The cursor-control keypad. Use
these keys to move the cursor (the
blinking block that indicates your
location on the computer screen)
from place to place on the screen.
• The numeric keypad. You can use
this section of the keyboard in two
ways:
1) With NUM LOCK on, you can use
these keys to enter numbers. (This
is especially useful if you are used
to entering numbers on a calcula-
tor keypad.)
2) With
NUM
LOCK off, you can use
these keys to control the cursor.
• The function keys. Use these keys
to enter special information, access
certain functions, and to control op-
erations. These functions depend
on the software you use.
