Windows Keys

The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions:

Windows Logo key and

Application key.

The

Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs

software-specific functions when used in combination with other keys.
The

Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse

click. (See your Windows manual for more information.)

Function Keys

On the top row of the keys are the function keys:

F1

to

F12

. Function keys

are multi-purpose keys that perform functions defined by individual
programs.

Fn Key

The

Fn

key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used with another

key to perform the alternative function of a key. The letter “Fn” and the
alternative functions are identified by the color of blue on the keytop. To
perform a desired function, first press and hold

Fn

, then press the other

key.

Hot Keys

Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to
activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a
cyclic way. Each time a hot key combination is pressed, it shifts the
corresponding function to the other or next choice.

You can easily identify the hot keys with the icons imprinted on the
keytop. The hot keys are described next.
