Using The Keyboard

Character keys

Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a typewriter,
except that:
■
The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing over
an area of the page.
■
The lowercase letter I and the number 1 are not interchangeable.
■
The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not interchangeable.
The Caps Lock key shifts the letter keys to upper case – the number
and symbol keys are not affected. The Caps Lock LED on the
keyboard illuminates when you press Caps Lock.

Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys

The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the program
you are using. For more information, see your program documentation.

Function keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12 keys at
the top of the keyboard.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they perform
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn
key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions, such as
dimming the computer display and enabling the numeric keypad. See
appendix A for more details of these 'hot key' functions.
