2-5-2 WINDOWS KEYS
Your notebook has three Windows keys, consisting of two Start keys and an Applica-
tion key. The two Start keys display the Start menu. This button functions the same as
your on-screen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right
mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your
Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)
2-5-3 CURSOR KEYS
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the

moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).
