Windows Special Keys

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

one activates the Start menu and the other has the same function as the

secondary mouse button.

Keypad overlay

Your computer’s keyboard does not have a separate numeric keypad but

includes a numeric keypad overlay which functions like one - this is located

in the center of the keyboard with the relevant keys having dark gray letters

at their front edge. The overlay provides the same functions as the numeric

keypad on a standard 101/102-key enhanced keyboard.

Turning on the overlays

The numeric keypad overlay can be used for numeric data input or cursor

and page control.

Arrow mode

To turn on the Arrow mode, press FN + F10. Now try cursor and page

control using the keys shown in figure 5-1. Press FN + F10 again to turn off

the overlay.

Numeric mode

To turn on the Numeric mode, press FN + F11. Now try numeric data entry

using the keys in figure 5-1. Press FN + F11 again to turn off the overlay.

This key activates the Windows Start menu.

This key has the same function as the secondary

mouse button.
