USING THE KEYBOARD
Your LifeBook P Series notebook has an integral 82-key
keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of
a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and
other special function keys. This section describes the
following keys. (Figure 2-16)
Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to
■
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-
gle between the standard character and numerical keys
is controlled through the [NumLk] key.
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow
■
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications
and documents.
Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12],
■
are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce
special actions that vary depending on what program
is running.
Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows
■
operating system and function the same as the
onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on
your pointing device.

NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as
both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys.
NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.
Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0
through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),
multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal
points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function
keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the
front edge of the key to indicate their secondary func-
tions. (Figure 2-16)
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook P Series notebook has two Windows keys:
a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays
the Start menu. This button functions the same as your
onscreen Start menu button. The Application key func-
tions the same as your right mouse button and displays
shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to
your Windows documentation for additional informa-
tion regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-16)
CURSOR KEYS
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard
which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and
right in applications. In programs such as Windows
Explorer, it moves the "focus" (selects the next item up,
down, left, or right). (Figure 2-16)
