78 Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
Your computer’s keyboard has only one Enter and one Ctrl key.
Most of the time this doesn’t matter. However, some programs
assign separate functions to the right and left
Ctrl and Alt keys, or to
the regular and numeric pad Enter keys on the full-sized keyboard.
Using the Fn key you can simulate these separate keys, as follows:
❖ Press Fn and Ctrl simultaneously to simulate the Ctrl key on the
right side of the enhanced keyboard.
❖ Press Fn and Enter simultaneously to simulate the Enter key on
the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard.
Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys
Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys
The Ctrl , Fn , and Alt keys do different things depending on the
program you are using. For more information, see your program
documentation.
Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12
keys at the top of the keyboard.
The function keys
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with
the
Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific
functions on the computer. For more information, see “Fn-esse®”
on page 164 , or “Hot Keys” on page 255 .
