Chapter 2 - The Big Picture

What the Keys Do

General Functions

Alternate (Alt) - used with other keys to perform special functions defined by the

application you are using. While holding down the Alt key, press the other key.

Caps Lock - toggles on and off making the typewriter letter keys appear in uppercase.

Control (Ctrl) - used with other keys to perform special functions defined by the

application you are using. While holding down the Ctrl key, press the other key.

Delete (Del) - deletes the character to the right of the insertion point.

Enter - tells the computer you’re done typing and want it to execute your command.

Some people call this the Return key. Also used as a paragraph return key when typing.

Escape (Esc) - generally allows you to escape a function without completing it.

Function Keys (F1 through F12) - the purpose of the function keys depends on the

application you are using.

Insert (Ins) - toggles between insert and overtype mode. In insert mode, whatever you

type pushes any existing characters to the right, “downstream.” In overtype mode, new

characters simply overwrite existing characters, deleting them as you go.

Pause - typically suspends the application you are using. Not all applications use the

Pause key.

Print Screen - typically prints out the current screen on the printer. Sometimes used

with the Ctrl key. Some applications disable this function or require special drivers to

work properly with this key.

Scroll Lock - defined by the application software you are using. Not all applications

use the Scroll Lock key.

Shift - shifts the typewriter keys from lower to upper case or from the lower symbol to

the upper symbol on the key.
