    Summer 2016
    Using your keyboard
    Whether you're writing a letter or entering numerical data, your keyboard is the main way to enter information into your computer.
    But did you know you can also use your keyboard to control your computer? Learning just a few simple keyboard commands
    (instructions to your computer) can help you work more efficiently. This article covers the basics of keyboard operation and gets
    you started with keyboard commands.
    How the keys are organized
    The keys on your keyboard can be divided into several groups based on function:
    Typing (alphanumeric) keys. These keys include the same letter, number, punctuation, and symbol keys found on a
    traditional typewriter.
    Control keys. These keys are used alone or in combination with other keys to perform certain actions. The most
    frequently used control keys are CTRL, ALT, the Windows logo key
    , and ESC.
    Function keys. The function keys are used to perform specific tasks. They are labeled as F1, F2, F3, and so on, up to
    F12. The functionality of these keys differs from program to program.
    Navigation keys. These keys are used for moving around in documents or webpages and editing text. They include the
    arrow keys, HOME, END, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, DELETE, and INSERT.
    Numeric keypad. The numeric keypad is handy for entering numbers quickly. The keys are grouped together in a block
    like a conventional calculator or adding machine.
    The following illustration shows how these keys are arranged on a typical keyboard. Your keyboard layout may differ.

    How the keys are arranged on a keyboard


    Typing text
    Whenever you need to type something in a program, e-mail message, or text box, you'll see a blinking vertical line ( ). That's the
    cursor, also called the insertion point. It shows where the text that you type will begin. You can move the cursor by clicking in the
    desired location with the mouse, or by using the navigation keys (see the "Using navigation keys" section of this article).
    In addition to letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and symbols, the typing keys also include SHIFT, CAPS LOCK, the TAB key,
    ENTER, the SPACEBAR, and BACKSPACE.
