1. A keyboard shortcut is a series of keys you can press to complete a computer command. As a common convention, keys that are meant to be pressed at the same time are joined by a
+ in written text. For example, Ctrl+S means you should press the Ctrl and S keys at the same time. There are many, many keyboard shortcuts. However, you will probably only need to use
a few. We will use many of these shortcuts throughout the course. Command Shortcut Explanation Cut Ctrl+X Copies and removes an item or text; used with Paste Copy Ctrl+C Copies an
item or text; used with Paste Paste Ctrl+V Inserts the last cut or copied item or text Select All Ctrl+A Selects all text or items Undo Ctrl+Z Undoes the last action Redo Ctrl+Y Redoes the last
thing undone Troubleshoot/Force QuitCtrl+Alt+Delete Opens Task Manager (see note) Close window Alt+F4 Closes window; shuts down computer if all windows are closed New Ctrl+N a
new window, tab, or document OpenCtrl+O Opens a file or document Save Ctrl+S Saves a file Find Ctrl+F Opens search tools; in most programs, opens a search box to find specific words
on a page Key Lesson Concepts:  Understand the layout and purpose of keys on a computer keyboard  Identify and differentiate between various types of keys  Explore the specific
keys unique to Windows and Mac systems  Grasp the concept and benefits of keyboard shortcuts  Learn a variety of keyboard shortcuts for different software applications  Enhance
productivity by leveraging efficient key combinations  The control key, or Ctrl key, is essential to many common shortcuts. It does not do anything when pressed by itself, but when
pressed at the same time as other keys, it can modify the other key’s function.  Alt Key
2.  The alt key, or alternate key, triggers an alternate use for keys. For example, many special characters (characters not commonly found on the keyboard, such as ¿ or ¢) are available
when pressing Alt and the right series of numbers. Like the control key, the alt key is also essential to many common shortcuts.  Windows Key  The Windows key (also known as Win
key, start key, or home) causes the start menu to open. The logo may vary slightly from the design in the diagram above. If the Windows key is missing, Ctrl+Esc can serve the same
function.    This logo was used from 2012 to the present.    This logo was used 2002–2012.  Menu Key  The menu key, or application key, is usually represented by a small icon
depicting a pointer hovering above a menu. It is typically found on the right side of the keyboard between the right Windows logo key and the right control key (or between the right alt
key and the right control key). The menu key is frequently omitted in the interest of space, particularly on portable and laptop keyboards. The key’s primary function is to launch a context
menu with the keyboard rather than with the usual right-mouse button. It can be used when the right-mouse button is not present on a mouse.  Escape Key  The escape key, or Esc, is
at the top-left corner of the keyboard. It can be used as a shortcut in dialog boxes to close programs.  Print Screen Key  The print screen key, or Prt Sc key, is used for taking
screenshots. Pressing Prt Sc will take a snapshot of the entire screen, and pressing Prt Sc+Alt will take a snapshot of just the currently selected window. The default save location of
screenshots taken is C:Users<user name>PicturesScreenshots.  Alternatively called the 10-key, number pad, numeric keyboard, numerical keypad, numpad, or ten key, the numeric
keypad is a 17-key keypad on the far right side of a PC keyboard. A numeric keypad may also be a separate device that connects to a computer. The keypad allows an individual to quickly
input numbers into a computer. For example, the keypad is used for anyone who deals with numbers frequently or has to perform calculations with a software calculator. Tip To switch
between the number and the directional functions of the keypad, press the Num Lock key.  Where is the numeric keypad?
3.  What is 10-key experience?  What is the keypad home row?  Why do keyboards need a numeric keypad?  Are there letters on a keypad?  Numeric keypad overview  Related
information.  Keyboard help and support. Where is the numeric keypad? Below is a visual example of the Saitek keyboard and where the keypad is on almost every computer keyboard.

A numeric keypad may also be a separate device, not built into a keyboard. Numeric keypads usually connect to a computer with a USB (universal serial bus) cable, but older keypads
may use a serial connector instead of USB. Some separate numeric keypads have a single-line LCD (liquid-crystal display) screen, like a calculator and the Kensington keypad to the right.
What is 10-key experience? Anyone who is proficient at using the numeric keypad or calculator to input numbers or perform calculations quickly is said to have 10-key experience. This
also means you don't need to look down at the keypad while using it. What is the keypad home row? The home row for the numeric keypad is 4, 5, 6, and Enter. Your right hand index
finger should be on the number 4, middle on the 5, ring finger on the 6, and your pinky resting on the Enter key. Tip There is usually a small bump on the five key to help position your
right hand without looking. Why do keyboards need a numeric keypad? The numeric keypad's layout makes it easier and faster to type numbers and perform calculations than using the
top keyboard numbers. For example, someone could type "486+123" and press Enter with one hand (the right hand) quickly. Without the numeric keypad, the person would need both
hands and most likely look down at the keyboard. Are there letters on a keypad? The keypad has no letters, it only has numbers and symbols. Numeric keypad overview
4. The U.S. numeric keypad contains the below 17 keys (going from top-left to bottom-right). Below is a listing of each of these 17 keys with links to pages with additional information
about each key. Note Apple keyboards do not have a num lock key and therefore only has numbers on the numeric keypad.  Num Lock.  Forward slash (divide).  Asterisk (star or
times).  Hyphen (dash or minus).  Numeric 7, also used as the Home key.  Numeric 8, also used as the up arrow key.  Numeric 9, also used as the page up key.  Plus (add). 
Numeric 4, also used as the left arrow key.  Numeric 5.  Numeric 6, also used as the right arrow key.  Numeric 1, also used as the End key.  Numeric 2, also used as the down arrow
key.  Numeric 3, also used as the page down key.  Enter key.  numeric 0 key, also used as an insert key.  period, also used as a delete key. Not to be confused with the "Ctrl keys,"
control keys enable additional control over a document and the computer. Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause, Break, Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End, and Page down are all examples of
control keys. The picture is an example of all the control keys and how they look on a US keyboard. Tip For help and information with the two controls keys labeled "control" on Apple
keyboards, see our Ctrl page. The picture below is an example image of a Saitek keyboard to help illustrate where the control keys are commonly on the keyboard. How many control keys
are on a computer keyboard?
5. When describing the keys that give control of a document or computer, there are nine control keys. When describing the modifier keys labeled as "Ctrl" or "control," there are two
control keys. Other language control keys Other languages, such as German on a QWERTZ layout, rename the control keys to make more sense to the user using them. The picture shows
that each English key is replaced with a German equivalent label. German control key English equivalents  Druck / S-Abf - German for Drucken (to press) / system abfrage (system query)
is the Print Screen key.  Einfg - German for Einfügen (insert) is the Ins key.  Entf - German for entfernen (remove) is the Del key.  Rollen - German for rollen (roll) is the Scroll Lock key. 

on Keyboard?  Function keys are on keyboard which cause operating system to command interpreter or an application to perform certain actions on the screen. There are 12 keys on the
keyboard from F1 to F12. All keys are having different functions to perform. If you are using laptop then you have to press Fn key along with other keys from F1 to F12 for use.   Function
Keys on Keyboard  Previously, Apple Macintosh computers lacked function keys. Their new keyboards, on the other hand, have F1 through F12 or F1 through F19 keys at the top. Some
MacBook models include a Touch Bar, which displays digital function keys when the Fn key is pressed.  How Many Function Keys are on a Keyboard?  F1 through F12 are the function
keys on today’s standard PC keyboards. Some customized PC keyboards include 24 function buttons labeled F1 through F24.  F1 through F19 are the function keys on many Apple
desktop computer keyboards with a number pad.  Explore our Comprehensive Guide to Computer Shortcut Keys, where we cover a wide range of shortcuts, including Windows, Linux,
Excel, Gmail, YouTube, and many more.  Where are the Function Keys on a Laptop?
7.  A function key row is often found as the top row of keys on a laptop keyboard. However, due to space constraints, some smaller laptops feature a reduced keyboard and no function
key row. On these tiny laptops, the function keys are frequently supplementary functions on keys in another row.  If your laptop lacks a function key row, seek for keys that have the
letters F1 through F12 printed on them as a supplementary function. To use the F1-F12 secondary functions on those keys, press Fn + the key with the matching F1-F12 secondary
function.  How to enable Fn Keys to use with Function Keys ?  Start laptop, then go to Bios setting and then move your cursor to system configuration. You will find option of actions
key mode and on same screen, you will get information about how to disable or enable Fn key. If you will not enable Fn key, then also function keys will work but not in manner they are
made to. So, enabling Fn key is good idea, and pressing Fn key with function keys will work better together. Keys from F1 to F12 are also known as Action Keys.  Use of Keyboard
Function Keys (F1 – F12)  One by one, we will get to know about functions of these keys.  F1 Key  F1 key is used to open help center. If you are using keyboard of your computer, then
