Desktop-style Keyboard

The Qosmio G50 comes with a “desktop-style” keyboard built into it. This
means it is full-sized and features a full set of numeric function keys (also
known as calculator keys) on the right-hand side. Unlike other notebooks
computers with smaller keyboards, there is no “Numeric Mode” or any
numeric keyboard overlay.

Generating ASCII characters

Not all ASCII characters can be generated using normal keyboard
operation, but you are able to generate these characters using their specific
ASCII codes.

1. Hold down ALT key.

2. Using the numeric function, type the ASCII code of the character you

require.

3. Release ALT key - the ASCII character will appear on the display

screen.
