Typewriter Keys
Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are
added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. When
the lock keys (Caps Lock and Num Lk) are pressed, their corresponding
indicators light up.
The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with
other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually
used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and
canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are
using.
Cursor-Control Keys
Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.
NOTE: The word "cursor" refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know
exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of
a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
