Using the keyboard
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
Your computer’s keyboard has only one
Enter
and one
Ctrl
key.
Most of the time this doesn’t matter. However, some
programs assign separate functions to the right and left
Ctrl
and
Alt
keys, or to the regular and numeric pad
Enter
keys on
the full-sized keyboard. Using the
Fn
key you can simulate
these separate keys, as follows:
❖
Press
Fn
and
Ctrl
simultaneously to simulate the
Ctrl
key on
the right side of the enhanced keyboard.
❖
Press
Fn
and
Enter
simultaneously to simulate the
Enter
key
on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard.

12 keys at the top of the keyboard.
Function keys

through
F12
are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination
with the
Fn
key, function keys marked with icons execute
specific functions on the computer. For more information, see
