The Keyboard

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 four types of keys: typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys, and

Windows special keys.

Typewriter keys

The typewriter keys, produce the uppercase and lowercase 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 BACK SPACE key perform the

same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special

computer functions.
