  • Function Keys One of the Biggest Differences Between a Typewriter
    Function Keys One of the biggest differences between a typewriter keyboard and the computer keyboard is the row of keys at the top of the keyboard that are labeled F1 through F12. Commonly referred to as Function Keys, these keys were frequently used in the good old days of DOS programs. In today’s Windows world of computers, you can probably use your computer without ever using one of these keys. Yet, these function keys provide some interesting shortcuts for common computer functions that can be useful tools in everyday computing . The function keys are frequently used in combination with other keys such as the CTRL key, the ALT key, and the Shift key. This results in a plethora of possible keyboard shortcuts . Here is a brief rundown of the function key and what they can do for you. F1 As a throwback to DOS days, you will find that the F1 key will often bring up a help menu. If you press F1 while working in a program, help for that program will usually appear. If you press F1 while at the Windows desktop or when the Windows Explorer is open, a Windows help screen will pop up . If you happen to be working in a program and would like to see the Windows help screen, simply press the Windows key (the key with the Windows logo on the bottom row of keys) on your keyboard and press F1 at the same time. F2 You can use the F2 key to rename an item when working in Windows. Highlight any folder or file, and press F2.

  • Summary Keyboard Mapping
    Technical Bulletin Product: RUMBA OFFICE 2.0 RUMBA for UNIX RUMBA for the VAX Version #: See above Host: UNIX, VAX Summary If you find that one or more of the keys you press in RUMBA for the VAX or RUMBA for UNIX doesn't produce the effect you expect, it may be that there is a mismatch between how the keyboard is mapped in RUMBA software and how the keys are mapped on the host. By remapping the characters that a key sends, RUMBA software can emulate most keyboards and be made to work with almost any application. When a key is pressed one of two things can happen. If the key defines a "local function," RUMBA software performs that function and nothing is sent to the host. One local function is the F2 or PrintScreen key. This function does not require host interaction. RUMBA software simply copies the information from the screen to the printer. If the key does not define a local function then RUMBA will send either a single character or a string of characters to the host. This document describes how to change the character or string of characters sent by RUMBA software when a key is pressed. It also covers some basic ways to determine what the host or application expects. To effectively fix key mapping problems, you will need to talk with your system administrator and possibly with the vendor of the host application you are using. Keyboard Mapping Host applications are written for a specific host keyboard. In the case of DEC and UNIX applications, this keyboard is usually a VT keyboard.

  • Proper Keyboarding Technique and Procedures
    KB1 Essential Standard Apply the touch method in operating the alpha keys. KB1 - 1.02 Execute the touch method in operating the alphabetic keys. Touch Method of Keyboarding Touch Typing Touch typing (also called touch type or touch method) Typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. A touch typist learns the location of the keys on the keyboard through muscle memory. This method involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and having them reach for other keys. Touch Method Touch Method of Keyboarding Typing on a keyboard without looking at the keys. Learning to key by touch rather than using the hunt and peck method Hunt and Peck Hunt and Peck Method of Keyboarding Typing on a keyboard using only one or two fingers of each hand. Touch Typists Vs. Hunt and Peck Typists The average touch typist can type 50 to 60 words per minute without typos The two-finger typist using the "hunt and peck" method typically achieves only 20 to 30. Which type of typist do you want to be? Tips for Learning the Touch Method of Keyboarding Do not rush at the early stages of learning. Take your time and the speed will pick up as you progress. Establish and maintain a rhythm while typing so keystrokes are made at equal intervals. Strike keys with the correct fingers. Move your hands and fingers as little as possible. Tips for Learning the Touch Method of Keyboarding Don't hammer on the keys.
