Print the keys on the keyboard. What buttons do you need to press on the keyboard to set the print function? Easy access to shortcuts from the keyboard
A regular keyboard can be divided into several areas.
The topmost area of the keyboard contains keys that are not used for entering data into the computer. These keys perform auxiliary actions, which are shown in the table below.
Esc key
– this key is used to cancel an action, exit programs, games, exit applications, etc.
Functions of the "Esc" key .
Its main function is to cancel the command that was ahead. If you right-click to open a menu on the desktop or on the taskbar and then press the “Esc” key, the menu will immediately close. If you start playing a game and accidentally press the Esc key, you will almost always exit that game. But pressing this key again will take you back to your game.
When you are on the Internet, you enter the next site address, and then accidentally press the “Esc” key, you will immediately return to the previous site address that you have already reviewed.
The top row of the keyboard contains function keys (limited by a red rectangle in the picture).
Function keys FI – F12 designed to perform certain actions assigned to them. Actions depend on the programs running in this moment on the computer, but usually the F1 key used to call help system currently running program. If any program is running, help about that program appears.

"F3" Calls up the search window.
"F5" Reloads the open browser page.
"F8" Booting the computer while pressing this button makes it possible to work in safe mode operating system.
Actions of others function keys with the F symbol are mostly possible in combination with modifier keys and may vary depending on the make and model of the computer. If the actions of any key on your computer keyboard differ from those described here, then you can find out about its purpose in the user manual.
"Pause/Break" . When the computer boots, it allows you to “pause” the computer – pause the boot process.
Functions of the "Pause/Break" key. By doing Windows boot, first you see information appearing on the monitor about your computer, about the hard drive, about the status random access memory, about all the components. The information displayed on the monitor appears and disappears quite quickly and is extremely difficult to comprehend. To be able to deal with it, you just need to press the “PAUSE” button. And to complete the operating system loading process, you must press any button on the keyboard. Sometimes used by some programs.
Key " Print Screen/SysRq".
Pressing this key allows you to take a screenshot of your monitor. When you press this key, and it is located in the picture in a red frame, at the moment it is pressed, the image currently on the monitor is saved in the computer memory. Next, we take the saved image from computer memory using a regular graphic editor, you can graphic editor"Paint", which is already built into operating system Windows. If you use the “Alt+PrintScreen” key set, you take a photo of only the active window, but the entire screen. In the picture, the “Alt” keys are in a frame blue color.
Key
Shift key.
Pressing this key and a symbol key simultaneously allows you to temporarily switch to uppercase (capital) letter entry mode, or enter another symbol located on the same key. There are two such keys on the keyboard - left and right, and in some programs their action is different. For example, to enter the capital letter “I,” you need to press the Shift key and, without releasing it, press the I key.

Now, in addition to entering numbers from the field of the main keyboard, you can also enter them from the additional one. True, those symbols that are printed on the keys of the additional keyboard at the same time as numbers will not work.
In most cases, the described keyboard fields are sufficient for work, but for those who like to work with compact digital and control keyboard“a la calculator” there is one more additional key field - the one on the right. This field is called an additional keyboard, in contrast to the main keyboard field.

In this mode, the text is inserted, as it were, and the entire end of the phrase is moved to the right.
But in the “replacement” mode, if you insert a word between two words, then the word on the right is replaced by the word that you inserted.;

I think it’s no secret to you that the keyboard is mainly used to enter data into a computer. But besides this, the keyboard is also used to implement various operations on computer management. Only newcomers to computers think that there are a lot of keys on the keyboard and it is impossible to remember them all. But using keyboard shortcuts greatly increases the number of actions you can perform using your keyboard.
1:1321
A regular keyboard can be divided into several areas
1:1458
At the very top of the keyboard are keys that are not used to enter data into the computer.
2:202These keys perform auxiliary actions, which are shown in the table below.
3:864Below the function key area is the symbol key area, which contains keys for entering numbers, letters, and other symbols.
3:1132 3:1141Many keys feature two or three characters each.
3:1243 3:1252The letter keys depict Russians and letters, and when switching the input language to English language, Latin letters will be entered, and when switching to the Russian keyboard layout, Russian letters will be entered.
There are keys in this area that are called modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys) . These keys are so named because they allow you to change the values of the symbol keys.
3:20073:8
For example, if there are three symbols on a key,
4:603then one of them is entered by simply pressing a key (this is the symbol “3”),
4:739the second - when pressing the symbol key and the key at the same time Shift(this is a symbol "No", if the Russian keyboard layout is selected),
4:998third character - when switching the keyboard layout to another language and simultaneously pressing the symbol key with the key Shift(this is a symbol "#" if selected English layout keyboard).

We haven't looked at text input yet, but I think we should introduce the concept text cursor, because next group keys is associated with it.
5:276 5:285Text cursor called a flashing vertical or horizontal dash, which indicates on the screen the location of the character newly entered from the keyboard. You've probably seen it if you've launched any text input program.
So, the keys for controlling the text cursor:
A little higher than the keys Cursor controls usually contain additional keys that are also related to cursor control.
6:1591 6:8The actions performed by these keys are difficult to describe without giving practical examples. Therefore, in the table below I present short description these keys, and you can use this table in the future as a reference. Come back to it when we learn how to use text editors.
6:558
On the right side of the keyboard there is an additional keyboard on which there are number keys and math keys, as well as additional key Enter.
7:1396 7:1405The additional keyboard is activated using the NumLock key.
7:15087:8
With NumLock disabled additional keyboard can be used to control the cursor- on number keys There are additional inscriptions indicating the functionality of the key.
Many (but not all) keyboards have an area that contains mode indicators. These indicators light up when the corresponding key is pressed:
