The Keyboard
The computer's keyboard layouts are compatible with a 101/102-key
enhanced keyboard. By pressing some keys in combination, all the 101/102-
key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer.
The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/region's
keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for numerous
languages are available.
There are five types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function keys,
soft keys and cursor control keys. The typewriter keys and keypad overlay
keys are gray. The other keys are dark gray.
Typewriter keys
The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers,
punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen.
There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using
a computer keyboard:
■ Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces,
which are created by a space character may also vary depending on line
justification and other factors.
■ The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on
computers as they are on a typewriter.
■ The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable.
