The Alt and Ctrl Keys
The left Alt key performs certain functions in conjunction with other keys. The applica-
tion program determines these functions. In order to enter a combination of keys that
include the Alt key, hold the Alt key down while pressing the other key. The right Alt
key operates in a similar way but selects certain special characters. The Ctrl key, like the
Alt key, carries out program functions.
Useful key combinations (software-dependent):
Key Combination
Alt + F4
Alt + Print screen
Shift + '
Ctrl + Alt + Del
(Country-specific variances are possible.)
