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 are pressed,
their corresponding indicators light up.
Function keys are multi-purpose keys that perform functions
defined by individual programs.
The Fn key, at the lower left corner of the keyboard, is used
with another key to perform the alternative function of a key.
The letter "Fn" and the alternative functions are identified
by the color of blue on the keytop. To perform a desired
function, first press and hold Fn, then press the other key.
Hot key functions are assigned to F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7,
F8, F10, F11, and F12 by your computer (see Hot Keys for
details).
Cursor-control keys are generally used for editing purposes.
They are Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down. When used
with Fn key, they become Left, Right, Up, and Down arrow
keys.
