Using Your VAIO Notebook

Function keys The 12 function keys along the top of the keyboard are used

to perform designated tasks. For example, in many

applications, F1 is the Help key. The task associated with

each function key may vary from one application to the next.

Escape key The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.

Print Screen key The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of the

screen and places it in the Windows® Clipboard. You can

then paste the screen shot into a document and print it.

Operator keys Several keys are always used with at least one other key:

Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with another key, the

Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate) keys offer another way to

give commands. For example, in many applications, instead

of choosing the Save command from a menu, you can hold

down Ctrl and press S (referred to as Ctrl+S). The Shift key

operates the same way as on a typewriter; it is used to

produce capital letters or special symbols such as @ and $.

Windows key The key with the Windows® logo displays the Windows

Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking the Start button on

the task bar. See “Combinations and functions with the

Windows key” for more information.

Fn key The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to issue

commands. See “Combinations and functions with the Fn

key” for more information.

Applications key The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of context-

sensitive choices. Pressing this key is the equivalent of

clicking the right mouse button.
