Note:

On some international keyboards, the Alt key function is located on the top right
quadrant of the key.

Each keyboard contains autorepeat keys that repeat their functions as long as they are
held down. Autorepeat keys include all keys that enter alphabetic, numeric, or symbolic
characters, the space bar, and keys that assign or move the cursor’s position.
