  • How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers
    How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers Introduction Current word processors and operating systems provide a large number of methods for writing special characters such as accented letters used in foreign languages. Unfortunately, it is not always obvious just how to enter such characters. Moreover, even when one knows a method of typing an accented letter, there may be a much simpler method for doing the same thing. This note may help you find the most convenient method for typing such characters. The choice of method will largely depend on how frequently you have to type in foreign languages. 1 The “ALT Key” Method This is the most common method of entering special characters. It always works, regardless of what pro- gram you are using. On both PCs and Macs, you can write foreign characters in any application by combining the ALT key (the key next to the space bar) with some alphabetic characters (on the Mac) or numbers (on PCs), pro- vided you type numbers on the numeric keypad, rather than using the numbers at the top of the keyboard. To do that, of course, also requires your NumLock Key to be turned on, which it normally will be. For example, On the Mac, ALT + n generates “ñ”. On the PC, ALT + (number pad) 164 or ALT + (number pad) 0241 generate “ñ”. A list of three- and four-digit PC codes for some common foreign languages appears at the end of this note. 2 The “Insert Symbol” Method Most menus in word processors and other applications offer access to a window displaying all the printable characters in a particular character set.

  • Alt+Tab Hotkey Combination
    Quickly Switching Between Programs LBT140 Traditionally, whether you are on a Mac or Windows machine, switching back and forth between programs that are currently open requires you to drag your cursor to the bottom of the screen, locate the desired program from within the taskbar or dock and select it; thereby bringing it to the forefront of your desktop. (Windows XP) (Mac OS Leopard) Introducing Alt+Tab (Windows) / command + tab (Mac) A hotkey combination is comprised of two or more keys on your keyboard, that when activated either simultaneously or in succession will quickly perform a function typically executed through a mouse movement or menu option. In the first of many very cool hotkey combinations we will use in this class, Alt+Tab allows you to quickly transition between open applications without have to dig through the dock or taskbar at the bottom of your desktop. Using the thumb on your left hand, press and hold the Alt key located within the bottom row of your keyboard. While holding the Alt key down, use whichever finger on your left hand will allow you to most comfortably tap the Tab key. This action will produce a pop-up menu in the center of your screen with an icon representing each of the currently running programs and windows. You will notice that one of the Windows XP Windows Vista / 7 icons in this menu is highlighted by a surrounding rectangle. By repeatedly tapping the Tab key, you can change the icon be highlighted. While you should be holding the alt key down Mac OS continually, do not hold down the tab key.

Save Time, Design More Quickly with Accelerator Keys Many computer designers use the mouse as the only means to pull down menus, choose functions and move items on the screen. Gerber OMEGA software has an extensive list of “Keyboard Shortcut” or “Accelerator” keys that can help you complete your jobs more quickly. Instead of moving the mouse to the View menu, clicking on the View menu and clicking on Redraw, you can simply press the F7 key on the keyboard to accomplish the same thing.

  • Assignment 4 Resources for POWER KEYS.Pdf
    Resource Page for Assignment #4 in Computer Literacy – Dr. Phoenix – 109 – 4-11-20 POWER KEYS We have studied “power-keys” in class. They are also known as short-cuts, or keyboard short- cuts. They let users to execute complicated actions with simple commands using the keyboard. Shortcut keys make for an easier and faster way of getting around a program (navigating) and executing commands in computer software (getting the computer software to do things!) Shortcut keys are most often use the Alt key (on Dell compatible computers), Command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl key, or Shift key along with another key. The standard for noting a shortcut is using the modifier key, a plus symbol, and another key. For example: “Ctrl+O” means to press and hold down the Ctrl key, and then press the O key too. Because Power Keys save so much time, it is useful to memorize them. The more you use them, the more you will begin to see that they will work in many programs. If you look at the icons in the Microsoft “Ribbon” at the top of your page, and hover your mouse pointer over an icon, often times the program will name the icon and provide the control key and letter combination. For instance, on the “HOME” tab in Microsoft Word, if you hover your mouse pointer over the underlined U on the left side of the ribbon, a little message box will pop-up with the following message: “Underline (Ctrl+U) Underline your text.” When using Power keys, just remember that sometimes you have to SELECT SOMETHING before the Power Key will do what you want it to do.

  • The First Row of Keys
    Keyboards are similar/ to the typewriters of the past! You had the letters, numbers, shift, backspace, spacebar on them, and they are still present on your keyboard. Your carriage return is now called "Enter". The first row of keys. ESC You can use the ESC (or escape key) in most programs to back out or quit whatever you happen to be doing at the time. Most of the time I see people use this with video's for example! They want to see videos in FULL screen mode, and when they are done viewing they will hit the ESC key to bring the screen back to normal size. The F Keys - Functions Keys If you look to the top of the keyboard you will see keys that have 'F' and a number on them. They are called function keys. Typewriters didn't have these. You may use some of them from time to time and others you may NEVER use! F1 F1 you can press to bring up the help menu. Alot of times if you are working in a program, and you need to reference something you can click that F1 for help. If you are browsing the internet, and use F1 your help menu for your system will come up! Try it now to see what I'm talking about! F2 Not used that often! You can use this function when you rename documents. For example, lets say you have a file you made named 'my computer basics' and you hate the title! You want to change that title to something you like better! You click that document, and hit F2 and it will allow you to change that document name.
