Sometimes referred to as "Universal" keyboard. Inventor C. L. Sholes put together the prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's and sold to Remington in the same year, when it first appeared in typewriters. Windows Keys: Windows Keys Pressing and releasing the Windows key by itself opens the Start Menu Pressing the key in combination with other keys allows invoking many common functions through the keyboard. Application Key: Application Key This key has an image of a mouse pointer on a menu. Depressing this key will display the selected item's shortcut window. This is the menu that is displayed by right-clicking.Function Keys: Function Keys Most computer keyboards have a row of function keys at the top of the keyboard – they are marked F1 through F10 or F12. NumLock and Numeric Keys: NumLock and Numeric Keys Many, but not all, computer keyboards have a numeric keypad located on the right side of the keyboard. Cursor Control Keys: Cursor Control Keys Cursor control Arrow keys are used to control the movement of cursor around the screen. Home, End, PgUp, PgDn also control cursor movement.Enter/Return Keys: Enter/Return Keys In any dialog box, a selected button or command can be selected by depressing the Enter key. Creates a new paragraph <p> or what is referred to as a Hard Return when typing. Slide11: When you press F1, the application you are using displays a help topic most closely related to the component—a window or button for example—that is highlighted. Or, if a dialog box is open, pressing F1 will display an explanation of the dialog box. The F1 key is a shortcut for clicking the dialog box's Help button. If there is no open application, F1 will open Windows Help. Press - The Help KeySpace Bar: Space Bar Inserts a space between words. It is suggested that you utilize Tabs (or other formatting commands) to put distance between different separations (such as columns). Using the space bar to insert visual space works but would not be considered good practice in your page design. Pressing the Space Bar while viewing a web page in Internet Explorer will scroll the page downwards. Escape: Escape The Escape key, which is marked ESC on most keyboards, is basically used to exit or escape from programs and tasks. In many cases, it will have no effect at all. However, it can sometimes get you out of trouble by making the computer go back or escape to a previous screen. Equivalent to clicking the Cancel button. Shift Keys: Shift Keys This key allows selection of capital letters when depressing the alphabet characters, or selecting the characters above other non-alpha keys. The shift key is commonly located on both the left and right-hand of the keyboard and is commonly located below the caps lock key and the enter or return key.

In most Windows programs, each of the menu choices at the top of the screen has one letter underlined. Holding down the ALT key while pressing the key corresponding to the underlined letter will open the menu just as though you had clicked your mouse on that menu choice. Touch Typing: Touch Typing All fingers are first placed on their "home keys". A S D F and J K L ; are called the home keys.
