The Keyboard
The computer's keyboard layouts are compatible with a 101/102-key
enhanced keyboard. By pressing some keys in combination, all the 101/
102-key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer.
The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/region's
keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for numerous
languages are available.
There are six types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function keys,
soft keys, Windows
Typewriter keys
The typewriter keys produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers,
punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen.
There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and
using a computer keyboard:
■
Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces,
which are created by a "space character," may also vary depending on
line justification and other factors.
■
The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on
computers as they are on a typewriter.
■
The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable.
■
The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in
uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the
shifted position.
■
The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the BackSpace key perform the same
function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer
functions.
