Using the keyboard

Character keys 
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a 
typewriter, except that: 
The spacebar creates a space character instead of just 
passing over an area of the page.
The lowercase letter l (el) and the numeral 1 are not 
interchangeable.
The uppercase letter O and the numeral 0 are not 
interchangeable.
The 
Caps Lock
 key changes only the alphabet keys to upper 
case—the number and symbol keys are not affected. The 
light on the 
Caps Lock
 key glows when you press the 
Caps 
Lock
 key. 
Making your keyboard emulate a full-size keyboard
Although your computer’s keyboard layout is compatible 
with a standard full-size keyboard, it has fewer keys. 
A standard full-size keyboard has two 
Enter
Ctrl
, and 
Alt
 keys, 
editing keys, cursor positioning keys, and a numeric keypad. 
Pressing the
 Fn
 key simultaneously in combination with one 
of the specially marked keys on your computer’s built-in 
keyboard allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard. 
The emulation Fn key and the Wake up on Keyboard while in 
Standby are only functional when using the internal keyboard; 
they are not supported when using a USB or PS/2 keyboard.
Your computer’s keyboard has only one 
Enter 
and one 
Ctrl
 key. 
Most of the time this does not matter. However, some 
programs assign separate functions to the right and left 
Ctrl
 
and 
Alt
 keys, or to the regular and numeric pad 
Enter
 keys on 
the full-sized keyboard. Using the 
Fn
 key you can simulate 
these separate keys, as follows:
