Description

Typewriter
Keys

Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter.
Several keys are added, such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc and lock
keys, for special purposes. When the lock keys are pressed,
their corresponding indicators light up.

Function Keys

Function keys are multi-purpose keys that perform functions
defined by individual programs.

Fn Key

The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used
with another key to perform the alternative function of a key.
The letter “Fn” and the alternative functions are identified
by the color of blue on the keytop. To perform a desired
function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key..

Cursor-Control
Keys

Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and
editing purposes. They are Home, End, Page Up, and Page
Down. When used with Fn key, they become Left, Right,
Up, and Down arrow keys.

Numeric
Keypad

When Num Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated,
which means you can use these keys to enter numerals.
When Num Lock is off, they become cursor-control keys.
