Satellite P200D/Satellite Pro P200D Chapter 6 The Keyboard The computer's keyboard layouts are compatible with a 104/105-key enhanced keyboard. By pressing some keys in combination, all the 104/ 105-key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer. The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/region's keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for numerous languages are available. There are six types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function keys, soft keys, Windows® special keys and cursor control keys. Typewriter keys The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen. There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a computer keyboard: ■ Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces, which are created by a space character may also vary depending on line justification and other factors. ■ The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on computers as they are on a typewriter. ■ The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable. ■ The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the shifted position. ■ The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the Back Space key perform the same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer functions.
