LET'S PRAY!
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be
Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; and forgive us our sin as
we forgive those who sin against us; and lead
us not into test, but deliver us from evil.

WHAT IS A
KEYBOARD?
The Keyboard is the primary means of
input for a computer. Most computer
functions are triggered by key
commands, many of which cannot be
performed with the mouse alone.
This is a standard “QWERTY” keyboard. Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes, but the
general layout of the keys are identical to the above image.

KEYS
BASIC (TYPEWRITER) KEYS
The name “QWERTY” comes from the layout of the keys beginning with Q and ending in M. The
letters are arranged by frequency of use in the English language with commonly used letters allocated
to natural resting places of the hands on the keyboard.
Letters (Q,W,E,R,T,Y), Numbers (1,2,3,4,5), Symbols (!,@,#,$,%), SPACEBAR, (inserts a pause or
“space”) and Arrows (←↑→↓) function primarily to input data, and do not have an extra function
unless otherwise specified in a specific program or paired with another key.
BACKSPACE can be used to erase one letter behind the text cursor ( | ) in a field where text can be
altered like a document or an email. Outside of this context BACKSPACE usually navigates to
previous page or screen.
DELETE in the context of text will erase one letter in front of the text cursor. Outside of this context
DELETE is usually used to delete a file.
ENTER (or RETURN) in the context of text will create a break in the document and begin a new
paragraph. ENTER can also function as a confirm command or the equivalent of a mouse click if an
object is highlighted. Some text fields, such as a status box on Facebook, will interpret a ENTER
stroke as confirm, and not a break.
MODIFIER KEYS
Many keys on the keyboard function differently based on context.
MODIFIER KEYS
When pressed these keys will input the
character displayed at the bottom of
the key, for instance the key labeled [!
1] will input the character [1] when
pressed. When the SHIFT key is
depressed at the same time the input
will be the character on the top of the
key, in this case [!]. SHIFT will also
capitalize the input of letter keys.
MODIFIER KEYS
SHIFT also functions as a means to select continuous regions of data by depressing the shift key and
using the arrow keys to create a region, such as in highlighting a sentence in a document like this.
MODIFIER KEYS
ALT does nothing on its own. ALT functions as an Alternating Key, triggering a secondary function
of a different key, and is used with keyboard shortcuts (which we’ll cover later). This is often
program specific.
MODIFIER KEYS
CTRL does nothing on its own either and will trigger the secondary function of another key, just like
ALT. CTRL usually triggers a system function such as printing. As with ALT this will be covered in
Keyboard Shortcuts.
FUNCTION KEYS
FUNCTION KEYS
The function keys or F keys are lined across the top
of the keyboard and labeled F1 through F12. These
keys act as shortcuts, performing certain functions,
like saving files, printing data, or refreshing a page.
For example, the F1 key is used as the default help
key in many programs. The F5 key is used in an
Internet browser to refresh or reload a web page. The
function of these keys can differ with each operating
system and program.
FUNCTION KEYS
OTHER KEYS
OTHER KEYS
The NUMPAD is a secondary set of keys used for entering numeric data. They do not have any extra
function, and exist just for convenience for inputting numerical data.
OTHER KEYS
CAPS LOCK acts like a switch and will reverse the function of the SHIFT key’s effect on letters,
inputting them as capital unless the SHIFT key is depressed.
OTHER KEYS
NUM LOCK acts like a switch and is used to enable or disable the NUM PAD
OTHER KEYS
INSERT is used with inputting text and will set the computer in a mode that when toggled on will
replace each letter ahead of the text cursor with what is typed. By default text is inserted with the text
cursor, it does not replace text.
OTHER KEYS
PRTSCN (remember to depress SHIFT as well) “Print Screen” will perform what is called a “Screen
Capture”, copying your entire screen, which you can later paste into a program like Microsoft Word.
SHORTCUT KEYS
SHORTCUT KEYS
A Keyboard Shortcut is a term used for pressing
a modifier key with basic key in order to trigger
a secondary function of that basic key. When
performing a Keyboard Shortcut you hold down
the modifier key and strike the basic key. Often
Keyboard Shortcuts are program specific,
especially when the modifier key ALT is used.
CTRL + Q = QUIT
is a keyboard shortcut that varies
depending on the program where
it's being utilized. For example,
in Microsoft Word, Ctrl+Q is
used to remove a paragraph's
formatting.
CTRL + W = CLOSE PROGRAM
Is a keyboard shortcut
often used to close a
program, window, tab,
or document.
CTRL + A = SELECT ALL
