(Ctrl, Alt, Shift keys)

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
programs, 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 is used to produce capital letters or special symbols, such as
@ and $.
