Using the keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, a separate cursor, a lock, Windows, function and special keys. The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

Hotkeys

The computer employs hotkeys or key combinations to access most of the computer’s controls like screen brightness and volume output.
To activate hotkeys, press and hold the key before pressing the other key in the hotkey combination.
