Using the Internal Keyboard
Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer
keyboard plus a
Fn
key added for specific functions.
The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four
major categories:
z
Typewriter keys
z
Cursor-control keys
z
Numeric keys
z
Function keys
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 (
Caps Lock
,
NumLk
, and
ScrLk
) are pressed, their
corresponding indicators light up.
The Control (
Ctrl
) / Alternate (
Alt
) key is normally used in combination
with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (
Esc
) key is
usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and
canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are
using.
