Learning the Basics<br />
Using the keyboard<br />
❖ The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not<br />
interchangeable.<br />
Making your keyboard emulate a full-size keyboard<br />
97<br />
Although your computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with a<br />
standard full-size keyboard, it includes fewer keys.<br />
A standard full-size keyboard includes two Enter, Ctrl, and Alt keys;<br />
editing keys; cursor positioning keys; and a numeric keypad.<br />
Your computer’s keyboard includes only one Enter key. Most of the<br />
time, this does not matter. However, some programs assign separate<br />
functions to the regular and numeric pad Enter keys on the full-sized<br />
keyboard. Using the Fn key, you can simulate the separate key, as<br />
follows: Press Fn and Enter simultaneously to simulate the Enter key<br />
on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard. Pressing the Fn key<br />
simultaneously in combination with one of the specially marked<br />
keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard.<br />
Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys<br />
Function keys<br />
(Sample Illustration) Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys<br />
The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the<br />
program you are using. For more information, see your program<br />
documentation.<br />
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12<br />
keys at the top of the keyboard.<br />
(Sample Illustration) Function keys<br />
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute<br />
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the<br />
Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions<br />
on the computer. For example, Fn+F9 turns the TouchPad<br />
ON/OFF. For more information, see “Hot key functions” on<br />
