The number of keys available on your keyboard will depend on which
country/region your computer is configured for, with keyboards being
available for numerous languages.
In use there are different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys,
function keys, soft keys, Hot keys and Windows special keys.
Never remove the key caps on your keyboard. Doing so could cause
damage to the parts under the key caps.
Keyboard indicators
The following figure shows the position of the CAPS LOCK indicator and
the NUM LOCK indicator which show the following conditions:
1. CAPS LOCK indicator
CAPS LOCK
NUM LOCK
Function keys: F1 ... F12
The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the
twelve keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently
from other keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed and, when used in combination with
the FN key, those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions
on the computer.
