•
Cursor keys:
Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to
the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.
•
Function keys:
The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to
produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running.
•
Windows keys:
These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as
the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device.
Numeric Keypad
The right-hand section of the keyboard serves as a numeric keypad. To activate the keypad functions, press
the [NumLk] button. Using the keypad keys, you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ),
subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated
as numeric function key keys. When [NumLk] is not active, you can use the numeric keypad to navigate
(Del, Ins, left, right, up, down).
Windows Keys
Your LIFEBOOK notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The
Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen 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.)
Cursor Keys
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down,
left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the
next item up, down, left, or right).
Function Keys
Your LIFEBOOK notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys
differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys
are used.
