Descriptions
The Application key displays a shortcut menu; pressing this key is equivalent to clicking the
right mouse button.
Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric keypad area to type numbers
or to perform mathematical calculations such as addition and subtraction. Note that you
must press the <Num Lock> key to activate the numeric keypad. When you do so, the Num
Lock light illuminates.
Several keys are always used with at least one other key: <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Shift>. When
held down with another key, the <Ctrl> (Control) and <Alt> (Alternate) keys offer another
way to execute commands. For example, in many applications, instead of choosing the Save
command from a menu, you can hold down <Ctrl> and press <S> (referred to as <Ctrl>+<S>).
The <Shift> key is used to produce capital letters or special symbols such as @ and $.
