Do you use or do you know all of the keys on a computer keyboard?

I know that F5 is refresh, delete is delete stuff and insert is to insert text, or other stuff other than that i dont know about the other keys

Hey willimajisir! I hate to admit it but, when I first learned how to use the computer I was taught what all those F keys were! And now I have absolutely no idea what any of them are used for! They now have all the short cut keys so people just really don't pay much attention to them anymore! I really need to find out what they are now that you brought it up! I will have to go do a search because it's bothering me! I'll let you know if I find out some information on it!

I think I know more of them :) The F-keys are a great help if you learn to use them right. A few hints: F1 - Help F2 - Rename F3 - Search F4 - Select path / address F5 - Update F6 - Enter new path / address and so on :)

hahah alike you, I am not so familiar also about those keys. Well, F2 is I think I used that for exit and that is just what I know and the rest of those upper keys? I mean the upper keys above the numbers? I have no idea about everything in that area.

Hello my friend williamjisir Ji, Upto certain extent, I am very much familiar, but not all, for example, 'Print-screen' is when you want to print , whatever is seen on the screen at particular time. Same thing, I have been trying to find out,say 20 years back, when I learnt basic/Unix/cobalt etc. at taht time any of the 'F' could be filled with some sentences and while typing if you press, same thing will be typed. But now it is not possibe. These 'F' keys change according to use. May God bless You and ave a great time .

certainly not,i never use the keys such as power,sleep,wake up and the F keys except F5,F11 and F12 although i know functions of many of them.and there are some keys i don't know their exactely means and when to use them for example insert,home,scroll lock.in fact,as a common user,we need not to know all of the keys or use them. Have a nice day!

I have to confess my friend that I am ignorant to a lot of keys on my keyboard and what their utility is, I never use any of the F keys at the top, hey maybe this discussion might get people starting to find out what the different keys that are usually ignored are all about? There are 16 F keys on my computer and yet I don't use any of them, I think maybe that's a waste? Waste of keys or a waste of knowledge that could help me in my work?

I don't use those keys either. Once in awhile I'll use the f5 but not on a regular basis. When I need to restart my computer, I close it another way and not by using the keys. Don't really know what many of them can do so it's best to leave them alone. They actual keyboard keys I never look at when I'm typing. Memorized them years ago. Good to hear from you again.

No, I don't use all my keys on my keyboard because I've Linux on my keyboard and I've a Microsoft keyboard. There's a bit of a disconnect between the two systems.

I have to say I seldom use these keys:) But sometimes I may just use F1, F3 and F5. As I will use it to boot the computer or reload the page. I love China

hi.. i think i only used F1 and F2.. the rest i dont know what are they good for.. F1 = Help button F2 = usually used in Excel - to edit a particular cell.

haha, i think that lots of people are not that familar with those keys which is just like you and me because those fuctions are not neccessary or maybe not helpful enough for us to remind them. however, if some special software is needed and run in your computer, then those keys totally forgotten by us may become active and helpful for us, because those keys usually have their own spcial use in some softwares. in addition, a few days ago, when i needed to modify the names of documents or folders so often, i just wondered that if any shortcut key existed and made the work more convient, then i found that it is the key F2, which can totally satisfied my need. good luck, my friends. i am back and active, again.^_^

good discussion,for the F key, i only will be used about F2 & F5 when i was made a form on XLS.it is very important to waste time and mend our's pace.but for the other,i don't know the functions of that and also do not use it before.thank you for your discussion,perhaps i will learn more of the knowledge of other F key in the further.good luck and have a nice day!

Hi william jisir: it's actually easy to find what's the use of this keys and i can else tell you that they will help you a lot specially when you're writing something in word.

No. I do not know anything about those keys. F4 is used for coming out of a game. When I was in the office, I was using some F keys which I do not remember now. With my limited knowledge I am managing somehow. As and when chance comes, I am learnin a few things.

hi well F1 you use as an emergency key when you need to escape from a program and nothing else seems to work. Insert stands for inserting something into a sentence, delete you surely must use occasionally as you need to get rid of a typing error. pause I am not sure of as I never have used it.But delete really comes in handy. Other than those I never use the others so know nothing about them.But F1 is a good one to know if you have a program stuck and nothing else will work on it you hit F1 and you will get rid of it.

Hi,williamjiser! When I play a vedio game,I usually use F1 till F12,just like Diablo II ,they are a shortcuts.haha.If I edit one document,usually use “Inert,Delete,Home,End,Page up ,Page down”.PriSc also use,when I edit images .Other keys ,just like "Scroll lock",I not familiar ,and don't use it.
