03.01.2024

The working panel of a modern laptop contains a large number of keys. Some of them have numbers on them, others have letters. There are keys on which foreign symbols are applied. To understand the essence of the meaning of the keys on a laptop keyboard, their description, purpose, it is necessary to understand this issue in more detail.

Built-in laptop keyboard

Key functionality

Some of the important buttons on the operating panel that perform special or control functions are the following keys:

  • ESC. Many users know this key. She can cancel any command. During the game, pressing this button takes the user to the desktop;

  • P.G.U.P.. Used to scroll the window up. This applies both to the browser and to working with text.

Keyboard Character Meaning Breakdown

The function keys include the values ​​F1-F12. They allow you to do the following:

  • Enable or disable Wi-Fi functionality;
  • Activate your monitor or external projector;
  • Adjust screen brightness and sound.
    Each of these buttons has its own meaning, working in conjunction with Fn.
    FN+

  • F1. Closes the laptop;
  • F2. Used to open settings related to energy saving;
  • F3. Connection/disconnection of communication modules;
  • F4. Sleep mode starts or turns off;
  • F5. If there are additional screens, it switches;

  • F12. Enables or disables the feature that moves the screen.
    Function key labels are indicated on the panel in a different color, for example, red or blue, and are surrounded by frames.

Dedicated Fn button

On each laptop model, the meanings of the F1-F12 keys may differ; there are no uniform standards in this area.

The keys usually have graphics next to them that help identify their function. For example, an antenna is indicated next to a number symbol, which means that this key controls Wi-Fi actions.

Number keys

The block of digital buttons on the panel is on the right and can operate in two modes. The first allows you to use numeric values, the other allows you to move the cursor. Switching modes is done by activating the NumLock key.

Digital symbols in two variations

Alphanumeric keys

This group of buttons is the most numerous on the panel. Each of them contains images of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and instructions for actions. Russified keyboards contain additional meanings of Latin letters. Switching the layout from one language to another is done by pressing the Alt+Shift combination.
Entering capital letters in a text editor is done by pressing and holding the Shift key and the desired letter. The same button is used to enter text characters, for example, the uppermost character of brackets or quotation marks.

Keys for moving

Control arrows are highlighted as a separate block on the panel. Their use allows you to move the cursor through menu items. In this same group we include:

  • Home. Moves the cursor to the very beginning of the text part;
  • End. It has the opposite purpose, and when pressed, the cursor ends up at the end of the text file;
  • PageUp/PageDown moves the cursor to the top or bottom of the written document;

The keyboard is one of the earliest and most important hardware components of a computer. The range of models and design solutions is quite wide. There are completely original products. Here is a very interesting concept on which the computer keyboard is made (photo below).

However, despite the large number of design solutions on the keyboard market, the functions and purpose of the keys on almost all modifications of products of this type are organized according to the same principle. Which one exactly?

Keyboard structure

Modern computer keyboards contain 101 or 102 buttons, which are divided into several groups. These are function keys, alphabetic, numeric, service, control, and so-called modifiers. Let's consider the purpose of each type.

Function keys

There are 12 buttons of this type in total. They have been included in the Purpose of Keys for a very long time; their description is found in many textbooks on information technology, published even before the invention of the PC in its current form. Function keys are located in one row (usually) at the very top of the keyboard. Let's study their features.

The purpose of function keys is largely determined by tradition among computer and software manufacturers, rather than by any rigid standards. There are some kind of generally accepted principles for associating the buttons of a given group with certain actions. But it cannot be ruled out that individual software manufacturers will prefer to assign the function keys whatever purpose they want. Let's take a scenario in which we have to press these buttons while working in Windows, say, version 7.

In this case, the F1 key will be responsible for calling the OS help system. Most programs running on Windows also require you to activate help by pressing F1.

The F2 key is usually responsible for folders in Windows. A similar function is assigned to it when working in some file managers.

The F3 button in Windows calls up the OS search engine, a separate folder, or a similar interface in most programs. For example, if the text is open in the editor, then by pressing F3, you can search for the desired word or phrase.

The F4 key is usually associated in Windows with two functions: going to the address bar in the integrated OS file manager, as well as displaying history.

The F5 button allows you to refresh the display of objects in a folder, on the desktop, or, for example, a page in a browser window.

The F6 key has some similarities in purpose with F4. It allows you to move the text cursor to the address bar of the built-in Windows file manager, but does not display the history.

The purpose of the computer keyboard keys in the F7-F9 row, as well as the F12 button in Windows, is not strictly defined. It all depends on the specific application in which the user is working. In this case, a specialized program can be used to assign keys.

The F10 button is responsible for calling the leftmost menu item in the program interface. For example, if a Word window is open, the user presses F10 to open the "File" menu.

The F11 key allows you to quickly switch the window to (or vice versa).

Control keys

These usually include the arrow keys - right, left, up and down. They are designed to perform operations to move objects on the screen, to control characters in computer games, etc. They can also be used to position the cursor in text.

Letter keys

They occupy the central space of the keyboard. In numerical terms, there are the most such buttons; the typical standard is 47 pieces. An English computer keyboard usually includes pure letter keys. That is, apart from them, nothing is usually depicted on the keys. Russian usually allows the simultaneous use of some letter buttons as “carriers” of punctuation marks. If you press them without combining them with others (for example, modifiers), then the main letters will be entered. With the appropriate combination - punctuation marks.

Also, in some cases, letter keys allow you to control an object on the screen, if this is provided by a program or computer game (the second option is more common). In this sense, letter keys can sometimes be "control" keys.

Number keys

They, depending on the configuration of a particular keyboard model, can be located on top of the letter block, and in some cases they can be supplemented with buttons on the right side of the device (as a rule, they often do not fit on “large” keyboards for PCs and laptops).

In the second case, this key block is especially convenient to use for calculations. There are also various auxiliary buttons for operations of multiplication, division, subtraction, addition, and there is an Enter key.

Modifiers

The purpose of the keyboard keys classified as “modifiers” is to change the essence of the entered commands using function, alphabetic or numeric buttons by pressing them simultaneously. These are CTRL, ALT, and also SHIFT. Some experts also classify the INSERT, SCROLL LOCK and NUM LOCK buttons as modifiers. Other experts distinguish these four keys into a separate group - the so-called “mode” buttons.

Let's look at the most common actions that you can use these keys to perform. The computer keyboard is designed so that the user can enter data not only using single button presses, but also in combination. The functions of many “modifiers” are performed precisely thanks to this feature.

Users often combine keyboard buttons with the ALT key. For example, if you press ALT and TAB, you can switch windows of different programs - from one to another. Using the combination of ALT and F4, the user will close the active application.

Combinations of keyboard buttons with CTRL are no less popular. For example, the combination of this key and “C” allows you to quickly copy an object or data area - a file, folder, text, picture, etc. You can quickly paste a “copy” by pressing CTRL + V. If you substitute “X” instead of “C”, then the selected data will be “cut out” from its original location, and after pressing CTRL+V it will be moved to a new one.

One of the most frequently pressed modifier buttons is SHIFT. It is in combination with it that most users type capital letters in the text.

Hotkeys

Some experts call this because the latter give the user the opportunity to very quickly perform any action that would take longer if using, say, a mouse. We have already given some examples reflecting the purpose of hot keys: for example, copying text using a combination of CTRL, C, X and V is usually faster than calling the context menu using the mouse.

Combinations of “modifiers” are often used. For example, if the user has the “Russian” computer keyboard enabled, the layout can be changed to “English” by pressing ALT and SHIFT. And vice versa.

Service keys

There are quite a lot of them on keyboards. Experts usually include the buttons ESC, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, PRTSC, PAUSE, DEL, BACKSPACE, HOME, END, WIN, ENTER, TAB, as well as SPACE, or, in Russian, space bar. There is an opinion that, in the broad sense of the word, “service” keys also include control keys and “modifiers”, and therefore it would be more appropriate to classify the buttons differently. But at the same time, there are no uniform standards in this matter.

Most Popular

Perhaps the most frequently used service key is SPACE. It puts a space when typing. In combination with INSERT (when its associated mode is activated), this key erases typed letters.

Probably the second most popular service key is ENTER. It has a lot of functions. It is difficult to single out the main one, we can say that there is a group of key ones: this is opening a file, folder, launching a program (or some action in an already running one), as well as translating text to a new line. Keyboards that have a separate number button area (on the right side) usually have an additional ENTER key.

The ESC button is often used. Usually responsible for canceling an action. For example, if an image viewer is open, you can close it by pressing ESC. Unless, of course, the corresponding button association is built into the application: in many cases, programs do not respond to pressing ESC.

The purpose of the PRTSC key is interesting. Using it, you can take so-called “screenshots” - graphic snapshots of the contents of the screen at a specific moment in time. To save an image into a separate file, you need to launch some kind of image processing program, for example, Paint or Photoshop, then “paste” it into the editable area (optionally, using a combination of CTRL and V), and then save it into a file of a convenient format .

Rare but necessary

Let's now study the rarely used, but very necessary in some cases, service buttons. These include SCROLL LOCK and PAUSE. The first key is designed to change the mode of use of the control arrows. So, for example, so that when you press the “right” or “left” buttons, the active window moves to the corresponding side. The PAUSE key can be useful if you are running a program or process on your PC that has a pause function. For example, before Windows loads, various types of system information are displayed on the PC screen. If the user is interested in reading it, but does not have time to do this due to the computer quickly switching to booting Windows, then he can “slow down” the process by pressing the PAUSE key. If, of course, the software interface allows this to be done - its algorithms are laid down by the manufacturer of the computer or motherboard. To continue the execution of the program, it is usually enough to press any button on the keyboard.

New and useful

Over time, with technological progress, the computer keyboard is constantly being improved and modernized. The purpose of the keys and their description may change. But this is not the only aspect of technological evolution. New keys may also be added and subsequently become, de facto, part of generally accepted standards.

Among the newest buttons are WIN, as well as “menu”. They are indicated on keyboards, as a rule, by pictures. WIN - in the form of a proprietary Microsoft flag, the second key - in the form of, in fact, a context menu with items, sometimes with a mouse arrow.

The WIN key contains almost any modern computer keyboard adapted for Windows. Photo is below.

Actually, the appearance of both buttons in question is believed to have been due to the entry of the Windows operating system into the world market.

WIN key

The WIN key, in principle, can be classified as a “hot” key, since in many cases the actions associated with it are carried out, firstly, in combination with other buttons, and secondly, they duplicate (with relatively faster execution) operations performed using the mouse. Note that if you press WIN separately, it usually opens the Start menu.

Let's look at useful hot combinations using the WIN key.

The WIN+D combination allows you to minimize all open application windows (or, conversely, maximize them).

WIN and R is useful from the point of view of calling the quick program launch window (in which you can enter the name of the main file, after which the application will launch).

The combination of WIN and PAUSE (this, by the way, is another useful property of the second key) opens the My Computer properties menu.

What's useful about the Menu key? It is, in principle, associated with the same action that the user performs by pressing the right mouse button while hovering the cursor over a file or folder. That is, it opens consisting of various options. Many users find it more convenient to use this function using the keyboard rather than the mouse.

Nuances of standardization

As we noted above, this is rather a set of rules dictated by traditions rather than international standards. However, computer and software manufacturers, one way or another, try not to experiment too much with associating buttons with new functions that are unsuitable for other market solutions.

Many users may not like the unusual computer keyboard, the assignment of the keys, or the description of its functions. Many PC owners prefer the familiar hot buttons, function buttons, or utility buttons to work exactly as they do in most applications. And therefore, the above-described patterns regarding the purpose of various types of keys, in general, are valid for almost all models of keyboards. In turn, software manufacturers try to associate application functions in algorithms that are more or less familiar to the market.

Windows standards on other systems

Moreover, even in operating systems other than Windows (for example, Linux), the range of key assignments is generally very similar to what is described above. In many competing operating systems, the computer keyboard, originally oriented towards Windows - the assignment of the keys, its description - reflects the same capabilities that are present in the OS from Microsoft. This even sometimes applies to the WIN key. Despite the fact that it is typical for Windows, its functions in other operating systems are in some cases very similar to the original range of purposes. Not to mention the “modifiers” that a computer keyboard contains. The layout between languages ​​using the ALT and SHIFT combination changes not only in Windows.

In many of our articles you can see text like: Win + R.
This text means that you need to press the combination of the Windows logo key and the letter on your keyboard R.
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that can be pressed to perform tasks that typically require the use of a mouse or other pointing device.

This list is more complete; most of the keyboard shortcuts are valid for other operating systems of the Windows family.

The following are the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts.
