| 152041 | 2003-06-12 05:57:00 | Hi there - ok simple you say but how do you use Ctrl and Alt keys to get different functions, also the F1 to F12 keys and the keys between the letters and the numerals and why does my num lock key have a picture of the mouse? My keyboard doesnt have a name on it but underneath it from the Chicony Electronics Co Ltd. I want to start making the most of my keyboard. :) | Ladybug (3129) | ||

| 152043 | 2003-06-12 07:00:00 | The Numlock key will have a picture of a mouse because, if Num(ber)lock is "off", then the keys function as arrow keys, for navigating. Why? Its a hang-over from the old 84 key keyboards that did not have any separate arrow keys. Its a largely redundant feature. The keys between the letters and numerals are the other "Numlock" keys (Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page up and Page down) If you leave Numlock permanently "on" you ignore the secondary functions of the number keys. The F1 to F12 keys have different functions assigned to them by each application that you run. F1 = help (as in PressF1) generally |
