Windows special keys

Windows

®

special keys

The keyboard provides two keys that have special functions in the
Windows

®

family of operating systems. The Windows

®

logo key

activates the Start menu. The Application key has the same
function as the secondary mouse (or TouchPad) button.

Overlay keys

Keyboard overlay keys

The keys with numbers and symbols on the front of them form the
numeric and cursor overlay. This overlay lets you enter numeric
data or control the cursor as you would using the ten-key keypad
on a desktop computer’s keyboard.

Using the numeric keypad overlay

To turn the numeric overlay on and off, press

Fn

and

F11

simultaneously. The numeric mode light on the status panel glows
when the numeric overlay is on.
