The Mouse; The Keyboard; The Alt, Alt Gr And Ctrl Buttons - Medion X50 Operating Instructions Manual

The mouse

In addition to the two buttons, the mouse also has a wheel. Turn or press the wheel to scroll through documents or Internet
pages.
PLEASE NOTE!
The wheel can also be used as a button. The assignment depends on the application in question. In Word, for exam-
ple, the cursor changes shape and the screen display scrolls up or down in the appropriate direction when the mouse is
moved.
If the mouse pointer cannot be moved smoothly across the screen, please try using a different surface (mouse pad). Glass or
metal surfaces may prove problematic.

The Alt, Alt Gr and Ctrl buttons

The Alt key is used in combination with other keys to perform particular functions. These functions are determined by the
program being used. To enter a keyboard shortcut with the Alt key, press and hold down the Alt key while you press the oth-
er key. The Alt Gr key works in a similar way to the Alt key, but is used to obtain special characters. The Ctrl key (Control) per-
forms program functions in the same fashion as the Alt key. Useful keyboard shortcuts (dependent on software):
Keyboard shortcut Function and description
Alt + F4 Usually exits the selected program or closes the open window.
Alt + Print Copies an image of the currently selected window to the Clipboard.
Alt Gr + ß The backslash ( \ ) is produced.
Alt Gr + E The euro symbol is produced.
Alt Gr + Q Produces an @ as required for e-mails.
Ctrl + Alt + Delete Starts the "Windows Security" dialogue.
