Are you familiar with the functions on your computer keyboard?

Well, it is hard to remember all of the functions of shortcut keys on your keyboard, even for computer majored professional people. It may be possible to identify the function of a single key because it often has an icon on it which is very inspiring. The hardest thing is to remember those functions of key combinations, like shift/control/shift plus blah blah. Some of them are just not used frequently, so there's no need to bear all of them in mind.

I know everything that each key does, I know what to press to do anything, and I know what to combine to make something happen. Everything just comes naturally to me, everything makes sense, I am actually very good with a computers keyboard.

LOL,i am also like you,i dont know much of computers or the keyboard,there are now newer keyboards available in the market with various useful functionality.but i know only the basics.

Yes, I'm familiar with the functions of my computer keyboard. I used to use shortcut keys for copy, pasting, cutting, etc. Sometimes when I photoshop, I used the shortcut keys for the tools~ since its faster than using mouse and hovering it to the menu corner.

I used to be, but when I learning programming I came to know even the ASCII codes in the keyboard, lol. I strived to learn coz I have a classmate before, he's the only one in class who has a background on computer and we all seem to know nothing about the subject. I asked him how to delete a sentence above a certain paragraph, I was also paranoid touching any key when I'm unfamiliar with it, but he answered with an irritating tone asking me to read what I'm doing so I'll know what to do... from then on, I bought some books and now I'm a more advanced user... Don't worry! It won't explode, if you're not familiar with the command there's only a slim chance that the system will go wrong. What you can do is totally irreversible, just remember what you pressed last so the one who'll fix it will know what to do. The people who know much about programming are usually the ones who have a strong chance in ruining a system by corrupting it. So don't worry, its normal for beginners...

yeah, also me would like to share my thoughts about using keyboards.. i have been almost 5years using my computers but i do know what are the possible shortcut keys.. i am afraid if i'd rather press any key without knowing the function of it.. I liketo play computer but sometimes if i feel so sleepy it will turn off then. is there any key to lighten the light in my computer? what to press. can you teafch mehow? thank you much..godbless!

yes, i believe that i am like you... i also not good with the computer and only know the basic simple buttons on my keyboard... i also don't dare to press any button for fear that i will press the wrong one and damage my computer... i prefer to ask my hubby first before i press anything that can ruin my laptop... take care and have a nice day...

I'm also not good in computer and I don't have much idea with the functions! I've learned of how to adjust the brightness of the screen few months ago, but I want learn how to download movies, so I don't have to ask my Husband about it. I've seen him do it a few times, but I can't hardly remember it, lol. I am also afraid to try pressing some keys because I'm afraid that I might delete some important files.

I am also not so good with computers but when I became a technical support representative then I learned a lot about computers. I never some short cuts with the keyboard usage. I learned more about browsers and how to manage the settings. I learned about the control panel and device manager. I also learned some key combinations to do a command. My husband is a very excellent when it comes to computers and I admire and envy him for that. But nevertheless I am proud of him because he is really good. He knows about Windows and Apple and the rest of the operating systems. I wish I could have at least half of his knowledge about computers.

Hi Iskayz. Nice to meet you. I use the keyboard more than mouse. So, I am familiar with some of the keyboard functions, such as the F key, alt+, ctrl+, tab, etc.. Working with the keyboard more quickly than with the mouse.

I know most of the keys on the keyboard are for certin things. I have no clue on how to use them. If I dont know I acculity have to call my brother which whorks on computers. I mean he fixes them as well. So if I have any computer problems I call him to fix it. I asked once before for him to help me but he never took the time to teach me.. So for now on I just use simple text. :)

Having majored and working in the computer field, I am actually familiar with the keyboard and most of it's functions. I am positive that there are some that I might not be aware of. One that I found that amazed me a little over a few months ago was that I could use the buttons on my keyboard to adjust the sound on my system. That was actually amazing because I had not even installed any software for the keyboard. It was a plan $10 keyboard that had some functionality to it other than it's main purpose.

My keyboard is a gaming keyboard, I have absolutely no idea what I can do with this thing. I have a whole bunch of random buttons such as "G1, G2, G3, M1, M2, M3 etc...". Hopefully one day I will be able to master these buttons, but for now, I am stuck in the dark haha!

To be honest i don't use all the keys so i am not acquinted with all, never used or expermented with them,,, Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

i also afaid of these un known key, and i don't want to know them . i think they are useless. and i will study it these days, they will help me a lot for shut down the computer.

No, not at all. I still have some keys here which i don't know the functions. I don't know too what will happen if i press them. Just to be safe, i just try not to. I'm quite familiar with the letters and characters though. I don't know yet about hot to control the monitor's brightness using the keyboard. Maybe some keyboard has that function but i think mine has nothing like that.

i have been known to this technology quite some time now. but still, like you, im not that familiar with everything on my computers keyboard. im still finding ways on how and what are its functions and how it does really works. i even asks advices and what are those keys means. sometimes i end up smiling on my lack of knowledge on this stuff but atleast im willing to learn more.
