Your computer keyboard contains certain special keys that typewriter
keyboards don’t have. Many of these keys allow you to give commands to the
computer without using the mouse. For example, in many application
programs, pressing the x (Command) key at the same time as the Q key lets
you quit a program.
The following table describes what you can do with the special keys on your
keyboard. Special keys vary with some models of keyboard, so some
keyboards do not have all the keys listed.
