Your server keyboard contains certain special keys that typewriter keyboards
don’t have. Many of these keys allow you to give commands to the server
without using the mouse. For example, in many application programs, pressing
the

x (Command) key at the same time as the Q key is often an alternate

method of quitting a program.

The following table describes what you can do with the special keys on your
keyboard. The number of special keys on your keyboard may vary from this
list; it depends on the model of keyboard you have.
