Omni Key Keyboard User's Guide
SCROLL LOCK - With many software
packages, SCROLL LOCK disables the
cursor-control keys. SCROLL LOCK is a
toggle switch. Press it once to turn on
SCROLL LOCK; press it again to turn off
SCROLL LOCK. When SCROLL LOCK is
on, the indicator light is lit.
PAUSE - With some software pack-
ages, pressing this key will stop the
contents of the screen from scrolling
until another key is pressed. If you
press CTRL + PAUSE you will send a
Break message to the computer. This
function is used in many software
packages as a signal to stop process-
ing. Notice the color coding for this
function; both the CTRL key and the
Break label are red.
CURSOR Keys («-1 i) - Many soft-
ware packages use these keys to move
the cursor. Each time you press a CUR-
SOR
key, the cursor will move one
space in the direction of the arrow.
PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN - Many soft-
ware packages use these to move the
cursor up or down an entire screen or
to the top or bottom of a page.
HOME & END - Many software pack-
ages use the HOME key to move the
cursor to the beginning of a file and
the
END
key to move to the file's end.
INSERT - Many word-processing and
spreadsheet software packages use IN-
SERT to switch between typeover and
insert modes. In typeover, each key-
stroke you make will replace the char-
acter at the cursor. In insert mode,
the keystrokes you make will push the
existing characters to the right.
DELETE - Many software packages use
this key to delete the character at the
cursor location.
