Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus a

Fn

key added for specific functions.

The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:

Typewriter keys

Cursor-control keys

Numeric keys

Function keys

Typewriter Keys

Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the

Ctrl

,

Alt

,

Esc

, and lock keys for special purposes. When

the lock keys (

Caps Lock

,

Num Lk

, and

Scroll Lk

) are pressed, their

corresponding indicators light up.

The Control/Alternate key is normally used in combination with other
keys for program-specific functions. The Escape key is usually used for
stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a
command. The function depends on the program you are using.
