Key Description
Correction keys The INSERT and DELETE keys enable you to make
corrections in your documents. These keys are also
available on the numeric keypad when Num Lock
is turned off.
Function keys The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard
are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in
many applications, FI is the Help key. The task
associated with each function key may vary from one
application to the next.
Escape key The ESC (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
Print Screen key The PRINT SCREEN key takes an electronic snapshot of
the screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard. You
can then paste the screen shot into a document and print
it.
Operator keys Several keys are always used with at least one other key:
CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT. When held down with another
key, the CTRL (Control) and ALT (Alternate) keys offer
another way to give commands. For example, in many
applications, instead of choosing the Save command
from a menu, you can hold down CTRL and press S
(referred to as CTRL+S). The SHIFT key operates the
same way as on a typewriter: it’s used to produce capital
letters or special symbols such as @ and $.
Windows keys The keys with the Windows logo display the Windows
Start menu: it’s the equivalent of clicking the Start button
■ on the taskbar. The Applications key displays a shortcut
menu of context-sensitive choices: pressing this key is the
equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
