What is scroll lock , pause break, prtsc sysrq, ins, end and other buttons on my laptop?
They are partly historic and partly still usable: INS = insert (any word processor, this will insert characters where you put the cursor; if this is off it will overtype instead) DEL = delete (will delete characters to the right of the cursor like bakcspace will delete to the left; will also delete any text currently highlighted) PAUSE BREAK = used to pause data coming from a mainframe computer to a terminal (still useful for stopping macros in Word or Excel or other macro-running programs) PRTSC SYSRQ= PRTSC is Print Screen, will copy what is on your screen to the Clipboard; SYSRQ used to call the mainframe system, no longer in use END = takes you to the end of a line in any word processor (including Yahoo text boxes) to save going blip blip blip blip with the arrow keys. Used with the CTRL key held down, will take you to the end of the whole document HOME = the opposite of END; takes you to first character of a line, or top of document when used with CTRL key The next two are only on
