Types of Keys set up on Keyboard
 How are keys organized on Keyboard

The keys on your keyboard can be divided into several

groups based on function:

•Typing (alphanumeric) keys - These keys include the same

letter, number, punctuation, and symbol keys found on a
traditional typewriter.

•Control keys - These keys are used alone or in combination

with other keys to perform certain actions. The most
frequently used control keys are Ctrl, Alt, the Windows logo key
and Esc.
• Function keys -The function keys are used to perform
specific tasks. They are labeled as F1, F2, F3, and so on, up
to F12. The functionality of these keys differs from
program to program.
•Navigation keys - These keys are used for moving around in
documents or webpages and editing text. They include the
arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and
Insert.
•Numeric keypad - The numeric keypad is handy for
entering numbers quickly. The keys are grouped together in
a block like a conventional calculator or adding machine.
 Keyboard shortcuts are ways to
perform actions by using your
keyboard. They're called shortcuts
because they help you work faster. In
fact, almost any action or command you
can perform with a mouse can be
performed faster using one or more
keys on your keyboard.

In Help topics, a plus sign (+) between

two or more keys indicates that those
Using Keyboard keys should be pressed in combination.
For example, Ctrl + A means to press
Shortcuts and hold Ctrl and then press A. Ctrl +
Shift + A means to press and hold Ctrl
and Shift and then press A.
 Importance of Shortcut keys
"Time saving with Technology"
It may sound a little excessive, but shortcut keys save time,
essentially they help you work more effectively! Upon entering the
"Audit World" five years ago, short-cut keys were one of the biggest
changes to our computer usage.

That's right, that millisecond of time that it takes to move your

hands, from the keyboard to the mouse, actually adds up over the day.
There are literally hundreds of shortcut keys in every program, but in
the interest of being concise I'll just list some of my favorites for
the "programs" that a majority of businesses use every day.

Using the Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad arranges the numerals 0 though 9, the

arithmetic operators + (addition), - (subtraction), *
(multiplication), and / (division), and the decimal point as they
would appear on a calculator or adding machine.
These characters are duplicated elsewhere on the keyboard, of
course, but the keypad arrangement allows you to rapidly enter
numerical data or mathematical operations with one hand.

To use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, press Num Lock.

Most keyboards have a light that indicates whether Num Lock is
on or off. When Num Lock is off, the numeric keypad functions
as a second set of navigation keys (these functions are printed
on the keys next to the numerals or symbols).

You can use your numeric keypad to perform simple

calculations with Calculator.
 Mouse
Shortcuts
 What is a Mouse?
02 • A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing
device that detects two-dimentional
motion relative to a surface.

• This motion is typically translated into

the motion of a pointer on a display, which
allows a smooth control of the graphical
user interface.
 Why it is named as "Mouse" ?
02
• With the cord coming out of the back of
the mouse Douglas said the device
reminded him of the rodent mouse and the
name stuck.

• It's a lot easier to remember than a "X-

Y Position Indicator for a Display System".
 Invention of Mouse

• In 1968, a man named

Douglas Engelbart created this
special tool to help people
control their computers.

• It was a small wooden block

on wheels, and there was a
long cable sticking out of
the back, kind of like a tail!
 Activities of Mouse

• Move the mouse cursor

• Open or execute a
program
• Select
• Drag-and-drop
• Hover
• Scroll
• Perform other functions
