Description
The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard
are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in
many applications, FI is the Help key. The task
associated with each function key may vary from one
application to the next.
The ESC (Escape) key is used to cancel commands
The PRINT SCREEN key takes an electronic snapshot of
the screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You
can then paste the screen shot into a document and print
it.
Several keys are always used with at least one other key:
CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT. When held down with another
key. the CTRL (Control) and ALT (Alternate) keys offer
another way to give commands. For example, in many
applications, instead of choosing the Save command
from a menu, you can hold down CTRL and press S
(referred to as CTRL+S). The SHIFT key operates the
same way as on a typewriter; it’s used to produce capital
letters or special symbols such as @ and $.
The keys with the Windows logo display the Windows 95
Start menu; it’s the equivalent of clicking the Start button
on the taskbar. The Applications key displays a shortcut
menu of context-sensitive choices; pressing this key is the
equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
The keyboard also has three lights:
Light On Off
Num Lock The number keys on the
numeric keypad
are active.
The arrow keys, navigation
keys, and correction keys on
the keypad are active.
Cap Lock Letters appear in
uppercase as you type.
The SHIFT key lowers
the case of typed letters
when Cap Lock is on.
Letters appear in lower case
as you type (unless you hold
down the SHIEf key).
Scroll Lock The screen scrolls
differently. (Exactly
how it scrolls depends on
the specific application. It
has no effect in many
applications.)
Information moves across the
display normally.
