Keyboard codes

Type-dependent number of
keys

Depending on the precise type, the Control Panel can have fewer keys
than those described here.

Operation

The cursor is the blinking character that marks the point at which the next
character entered will be displayed. The cursor is also known as the
insertion point. The cursor keys each move the cursor one place in the
associated direction.

Home

End

The Home key moves the cursor to the beginning of the line, while the End
key moves it to the end of the line.

Pg Up

Pg Dn

The Pg Up key scrolls one page back, the Pg Dn key scrolls one page
forward.

The Tab key takes the cursor to the next input field, while Shift and Tab
moves to the previous input field.

L

R

The mouse cursor can be moved over the screen with the aid of the touch
screen or of the touch pad (optional). The keys correspond to the left and
right hand keys of a Microsoft mouse.

Del

The Del key deletes the character to the right of the cursor.

Ins

The Ins key causes characters to the right of the cursor to be overwritten.
The overwrite mode is cancelled by pressing the key again.

Print

Print-Screen prints a hard copy of a text screen on the printer.

Pause

The Pause key stops the computer until another key is pressed (only under
MS-DOS).

Enter

Your input is confirmed with the Enter key.

Backspace deletes the character to the left of the cursor.

Shift

If the Shift key is pressed at the same time as another key, then instead of
the numbers you obtain the character printed above the number, and you
obtain upper case letters instead of lower case letters.

Caps

Lock

Pressing the Caps Lock key once activates and locks the Shift key.
Pressing the Shift key cancels this function.

Ctrl

Alt

Rather like the effect of the Shift key, Ctrl and Alt also change the meaning
of another key that is pressed at the same time.

This key brings up the Start menu of the operating system in use (Windows
95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP).

Pressing this key opens the property sheet of the active (or marked) object.

Esc

The Esc key has the effect of closing dialog windows and of interrupting
some of the computer’s working operations.

Q

W

All other keys bring the character printed on them onto the display at the
position of the cursor.
