Keyboard
4.1 Description of the keyboard
The keyboard is an
external instrument that
is represented by a set of
keys, these must be
responsible for entering
information to a
computer or device by
means of various
characters, including
letters, numbers and
symbols. The keyboard
is the direct evolution of
typewriters, which were used under a system of keys or buttons that
acted as mechanical levers or electronic switches. These machines
sent information to old computers, on the keyboard, everything is
different, as this connects to the computer or, in case of laptops, it
comes integrated to them.
The keyboard is an-input peripheral that is used to input information to
the system to which it is connected. Although the technology was
significantly advanced since its invention, today we still have
keyboards in the new devices that come to market, given their great
acceptance and ease of use.
IV.2 Identification of the different types of keys and
their names.
Alphanumeric keys
The keys that belong to the alphanumeric keyboard are the most
important that we are going to find since they are the ones that allow
us to enter all the information we need to the computer.As its name
suggests, we find in this block all the alphabetic keys (a to z) and all
the numbers of the decimal system (0 to 9).
Function keys
As the name implies, these keys are the ones that belong to the
function block. This block is at the top of the alphanumeric block and
depending on the system used and the program running, they allow a
certain number of tasks to be carried out.The most popular key that
appears in this block is esc, which means escape, and allows you to
exit a context.To its right, we can see the F1 to F12 keys that usually
have a particular behavior depending on what program is running, as
well as what operating system we are using.
