Character keys
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a
typewriter, except that:
❖ The spacebar creates a space character instead of just
passing over an area of the page.
❖ The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 are not
interchangeable.
❖ The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not
interchangeable.
❖ The Caps Lock key changes only the alphabet keys to upper
case — the number and symbol keys are not affected.
The caps lock light on the keyboard indicator panel
illuminates when you press the
Caps Lock key.
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.
Function keys
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they run
programmed functions when you press them. Used in
combination with the
Fn key, function keys marked with icons
run specific functions on the computer.
