                      Special Keys


                 There are some keys that are used for special purpose. They are called special keys.

                 Spacebar Key

                 Spacebar is the longest key on the keyboard.

                 It is used to give a blank space when you type
                 words, alphabets or numbers. There is nothing written on the Spacebar key.


                 Enter Key

                 We press the Enter key to start a new line or a paragraph. It takes                     Enter
                 the cursor to the next line. It is also known as Return key.
