Using the Keyboard
Your computer has an 87/88-key keyboard (Figure 7). By pressing designated key
combinations, you can have access to all the key functions of a full-sized keyboard.

Although the layout of the keys on your computer’s keyboard
is different from that on a desktop computer’s keyboard, the
keyboard feels like a full-sized keyboard when you use it.
The keys on the keyboard can be grouped into the following categories:
•
Full-sized Alphanumeric typewriter keys are arranged like a standard
typewriter keyboard and are used for text entry. The Windows keys on either
side of the spacebar open Windows menus and perform other special
functions.
•
Function keys, when pressed together with the <Fn> key, enable special
functions.
•
Cursor and Screen control keys move the cursor. They may perform other
functions, depending on your software.
