Windows Keys - Sharp PC-A800 Series Manual

Windows Keys

There are two different Windows keys as shown below. The keyboard repeats the
Windows Start key on either side of the Space bar.
Windows Start Key. This key opens the Windows Start menu
on the taskbar. In combination with other keys it provides
short cuts to some Windows functions. See Windows help for
more information.
Windows Pull-down Menu key. When an item is selected and
this key is pressed, it pulls down a menu if one is available. It
is similar to the right click of a mouse or glide pad.
Fn (Function) Key Combinations
You can activate hot-key system controls and various embedded keystrokes by
holding down one of the two Fn keys and then pressing any of the keys embossed
with an icon or boxed text on the lower half of the key.
