Remember the following points when using the keyboard:
• The layout or "mapping" of characters to the keys is determined
by the Preferences keymap setting. This typically varies by
country.
• Keys can be redefined by an application to have special
functions. If you notice unexpected responses to some
keystrokes (especially when switching between windows and
screens running different applications) this may be the reason.
For specifics on how an application affects the keyboard, see the
application's manual.
• Depending on the application, certain key combinations may
have special meaning. The keys may need to be pressed
simultaneously or one after the otlier.
