It is also referred to as the "Universal" keyboard. It was the work of inventor C. L. Sholes, who put together the prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's." RETURN TO KEYBOARD Esc Equivalent to clicking the Cancel button.

On a web page that is loading, the Esc key will stop the page from loading. The keyboard combination Ctrl + Esc will open the Start Menu.

RETURN TO KEYBOARD F12 RETURN TO KEYBOARD Print Screen/SysRq Usually located at the upper right hand corner of your keyboard next to the Scroll Lock and Pause/Break keys. Often abbreviated PrtScr, the Print Screen key is a useful key supported on most PCs. In DOS, pressing the Print Screen key causes the computer to send whatever images and text are currently on the display screen to the printer. Some graphics programs and Windows, use the Print Screen key to obtain Screen Captures. RETURN TO KEYBOARD Tab This key can be used to move forward through options in a dialog box. Ctrl + Shift + Tab can be used to move backward through the options. Ctrl + Tab allows movement from one open window to the next in an application with more than one open window.

RETURN TO KEYBOARD Caps Lock Locks the keyboard in "Capitals" mode (only applies to Alpha keys). The Caps Lock key should be used with caution. Using ALL CAPS is a usability no-no as many have difficulty scanning text that is ALL CAPS. Also, when sending e-mail in all caps, this could be misconstrued as shouting at someone. RETURN TO KEYBOARD Shift The obvious use of this key is to allow selection of capital letters when depressing the alphabet characters, or selecting the characters above other non-alpha keys. Depressing the Shift key while inserting a CD-ROM will bypass auto play. Shift + Delete to permanently delete a selected item, bypasses the Recycle Bin.
