Commonly Used Keys to Write Text Lesson5 Commonly used keys to write text In this lesson you will learn to use: Caps Lock, Backspace and Delete keys. A m The four directional arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down keys. Tejas: Moz, We want to prepare a list of our friends. Which activity can we use ? Moz: Use the text editor activity which enables you to write and make changes to the text. Tejas and Jyoti double click on the text editor icon with the mouse. Tejas: Similar to the paint activity, text editor has options to open a new file, save a file and open existing files. 35 Moz: Yes. As you already know most of the activities have these options. Tejas: Do we write text in the blank space? Moz: Yes. Just like a new page in your notebooks. Jyoti: Shape of the mouse pointer is different in text editor. Moz: Good observation. Note that the mouse pointer is also called a cursor. It is a small blinking line. You can use the 4 directional arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor within the text. Arrow keys There are four arrow keys on a keyboard. These keys allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right. Up and down arrow keys move the cursor up or down by one line at a time. Left and Right arrow keys move the cursor left or right by one letter at a time. Jyoti: Moz, We can write text using the alphabet keys and number keys on the keyboard. I want to type my friend‛s name. How can I write capital letters? Moz: First press on the Caps Lock key. Next type the alphabet. Jyoti: A small light on the keyboard comes on when we press Caps lock key! Tejas: Pressing on Caps Lock key again is giving lower case alphabets! The light on the keyboard is now off! Moz: Good. The light indicates if the Caps lock key is on or off. 36 Caps Lock Caps Lock Pressing on the Caps Lock key allows capital letter typing. Press the Caps Lock key once again to type lower case letters. A small green light on the keyboard indicates the status (light on – Capital letters, light off – lower case letters). Tejas and Jyoti write names of their friends‛ one below the other. Moz: Good, you have used the Enter key to go to the next line. Jyoti typed Sweetha instead of Swetha and wants to delete the extra 'e' in the name. Jyoti: I used the left arrow key to take the cursor to the letter 'e' that I want to erase. How do I erase the letter? Moz: Use the Backspace key. Jyoti: Backspace key is erasing the letter before the cursor. How do I erase a letter which is to the right of the cursor? Moz: Oh! Use the delete key. Making changes to the text that you have write is called editing the text. Delete Delete Key This key deletes the letter which is to the right of the cursor. Backspace Backspace Key This is the key on the keyboard which erases the letter before the cursor. It is marked either "Backspace" or “an arrow pointing to the left” and usually situated at the top right of the main keyboard area. 37 Tejas finished entering all the names and wants to give a title to the list. So he uses Up arrow key to move the cursor to the top of the page. WORKSHEETS 2.5 Moz: Instead of using the Up arrow key several times, Use Page Up to take the cursor up the pages. Use Page down to take the cursor down, page by page. Page Page Up Down 1. A picture of a keyboard is given below: Colour the keyboard as follows: Page Up/ Page Down These two keys are used to move the cursor up and down a page or the screen. The arrow keys and the Page Up and Page Down keys are called the navigational keys. Moz: Interesting names! Have you saved the list that you wrote? Tejas: I clicked on the Save button. The dialog box is asking me to enter a name for the file. Moz: Give an appropriate name so that you can easily find your file later. Tejas names the file Tfriends and Jyoti names her file Jfriends. Red for number keys Blue for the alphabet keys Green for Spacebar key Brown for Caps lock key Pink for arrow keys Yellow for Backspace key Orange for Page up and Page down keys Grey for Delete key Jyoti: Can we do some paintings using the paint 2.

  • 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.

Usually the computer shows some kind of warning that you have pressed this key e.g. a light on the keyboard Shift: Holding down the Shift key (usually denoted with a ↑on the key) has a number of uses, both to type capital letters and to access the symbols on the upper part of a key, e.g. the £ sign above the number 3. There are Shift keys on both sides of the keyboard.

  • Corrosion Mechanisms of Mild Steel in Weak Acids
    Corrosion Mechanisms of Mild Steel in Weak Acids A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Thu N.B. Tran August 2014 © 2014 Thu N.B. Tran. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Corrosion Mechanisms of Mild Steel in Weak Acids by THU N.B. TRAN has been approved for the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology by Srdjan Nesic Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology 3 ABSTRACT TRAN, THU N.B., Ph.D., August 2014, Chemical Engineering Corrosion Mechanisms of Mild Steel in Weak Acids Director of Dissertation: Srdjan Nesic The corrosion of mild steel in the presence of weak acids is a challenge for the oil and gas industry. Weak acids, such as carbonic acid (in CO2 corrosion) and acetic acid, are reported to accelerate the cathodic reaction, but there is still little agreement as to their role in corrosion mechanisms. Although assumed in many studies, there is no proof that direct reduction of these weak acids occurs and needs to be taken into account. Therefore, the intent of this research is to determine whether these weak acids mainly provide hydrogen ions via their dissociation, with resultant hydrogen ions being directly reduced at the steel surface, or if the direct reduction of weak acids is also important. Electrochemical techniques including linear polarization resistance (LPR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and polarization sweeps were used to investigate the corrosion mechanisms.

    Development of Medical Equipment to make Colonoscopy Procedures Safer for Physicians: Control Head Holder and Splatter Shield A thesis presented to the faculty of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Rajesh Ravindra Shanbhag December 2014 © 2014 Rajesh Ravindra Shanbhag. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Development of Medical Equipment to make Colonoscopy Procedures Safer for Physicians: Control Head Holder and Splatter Shield by RAJESH RAVINDRA SHANBHAG has been approved for the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology by JungHun Choi Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology 3 ABSTRACT SHANBHAG, RAJESH RAVINDRA, M.S., December 2014, Mechanical Engineering Development of Medical Equipment to make Colonoscopy Procedures Safer for Physicians: Control Head Holder and Splatter Shield Director ofThesis: JungHun Choi The physicians performing colonoscopy are at risk due to the occupational overuse injuries and exposure to infectious splatters from the patient’s anus. The objective of this thesis is to develop medical equipment to make the colonoscopy procedure safer and more comfortable for performing physicians. To understand the problem well, the colonoscopy procedure was directly observed. Additionally, physicians were questioned to better comprehend safety issues associated with the procedure. Subsequently, two devices were developed in an attempt to make the procedure safer for the physicians[1]. The Control Head Holder (CHH) holds the control head of the colonoscopy equipment, which provides the physician with less fatigue during the procedure. A splatter shield was also developed to mitigate the physician’s exposure to bodily fluids.

  • Use the Keyboard with the Ipad (PDF)
    Computers for Beginners 2: Use the Keyboard Mar 2020 YG/ DC Learning Outcomes In this class you will: 1. Familiarize yourself with alphabet keys, number keys and symbol keys. 2. Practice typing using an iPad App. 3. Review where to get more typing practice. 2 What is a Keyboard? The keyboard is a piece of equipment used to communicate with a computer. It allows you to enter data into a computer. iPads come with a “virtual keyboard” which appears whenever you open an app which requires typing. Tap once on suggested words to autofill To use numbers and To hide the symbols tap here keyboard tap here To return to the letter keyboard tap here 3 Exercise 1: Tour the keyboard Typing Touch typing is the ability to use muscle memory to find keys quickly using all fingers. Touch typing is an acquired skill that takes practice. Touch typing is not the goal of this class. For now, don’t worry if you use only a few fingers. You will get more comfortable with practice. Accuracy, not speed, is the goal. In North America we call this a QWERTY keyboard. Can anyone tell me why? This diagram depicts the “classic” layout of the keys in rows. Most practice lessons use the terms: Home Row, Top Row, Bottom Row. Backspace Key Top Row Home Row Bottom Row Spacebar Shift Keys 4 In addition to the letter keys, you will use the Spacebar to create spaces between words. Use the Return Key (or Enter Key) to move your cursor (a vertical line which indicates where you can type) to the next line and begin typing a new sentence.

    The Affirmative 122-Key Driverless PC/5250 keyboard has been optimized for IBM Client Access 5250 and should be compatible with other 5250 emulation software packages which include a keyboard mapping utility. The PC/5250 keyboard uses the Microsoft standard 101/102-key keyboard driver and does not require any additional keyboard drivers. Figure 1 shows the layout of this keyboard with the keycap nomenclature.
