Keyboard codes
Type-dependent number of 
keys 
Depending on the precise type, the Control Panel can have fewer keys 
than those described here. 
 
Operation 
 
The cursor is the blinking character that marks the point at which the next 
character entered will be displayed. The cursor is also known as the 
insertion point. The cursor keys each move the cursor one place in the 
associated direction. 
 
Home
End
The Home key moves the cursor to the beginning of the line, while the End 
key moves it to the end of the line. 
 
Pg Up
Pg Dn
The Pg Up key scrolls one page back, the Pg Dn key scrolls one page 
forward. 
 
 
The Tab key takes the cursor to the next input field, while Shift and Tab 
moves to the previous input field. 
 
L
R
The mouse cursor can be moved over the screen with the aid of the touch 
screen or of the touch pad (optional). The keys correspond to the left and 
right hand keys of a Microsoft mouse. 
Del
The Del key deletes the character to the right of the cursor. 
 
Ins
The Ins key causes characters to the right of the cursor to be overwritten. 
The overwrite mode is cancelled by pressing the key again. 
Print-Screen prints a hard copy of a text screen on the printer. 
 
Pause
The Pause key stops the computer until another key is pressed (only under 
MS-DOS). 
 
Enter
Your input is confirmed with the Enter key. 
 
 
Backspace deletes the character to the left of the cursor. 
 
 
Shift
If the Shift key is pressed at the same time as another key, then instead of 
the numbers you obtain the character printed above the number, and you 
obtain upper case letters instead of lower case letters. 
Caps
Lock
Pressing the Caps Lock key once activates and locks the Shift key. 
Pressing the Shift key cancels this function. 
Ctrl
Alt
Rather like the effect of the Shift key, Ctrl and Alt also change the meaning 
of another key that is pressed at the same time. 
 
This key brings up the Start menu of the operating system in use (Windows 
95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP). 
 
Pressing this key opens the property sheet of the active (or marked) object.
 
Esc
The Esc key has the effect of closing dialog windows and of interrupting 
some of the computer’s working operations.
