Description
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 give commands. For example, in many
applications, instead of choosing the Save command from
a menu, you can hold down Ctrl and press the S key
(referred to as Ctrl+S). The Shift key operates the same
way as on a typewriter; it is used to produce capital letters
or special symbols, such as @ and $.
The key with the Windows® logo displays the
Windows® Start menu; it's the equivalent of clicking the
Start button on the taskbar. See "Combinations and
functions with the Windows key" for more information.
The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to
issue commands. The Fn keys at the left and right sides
both work the same. See "Combinations and functions
with the Fn key" for more information.
The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of
context-sensitive choices. Pressing this key is the
equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.
