SPECIAL KEYS

                 There are some keys that have a special role. Let us discuss some of them.
                 Spacebar Key


                 Spacebar is the longest key at the bottom of the keyboard. It is used to give a blank
                 space between two letters, numbers, symbols and words.













                   Spacebar is the only key on the keyboard on which nothing is written.

                    Enter             We use the Enter key to move to the next line. The Enter key is also

                                      called the Return key. There are two Enter keys on a keyboard.


                 Backspace Key
                                                                                                       Backspace
                 We use the Backspace key to erase what we have typed.

                                Up


                                                       Arrow Keys

                                                       We use the  Arrow  keys to  move the  cursor  up,

                                                       down, left and right. These keys are also known as
                 Left                          Right
                                                       the cursor control keys.

                                   of a place and press Enter key, it will take you there. You can use it
                                   only once. Where would you like to go using it?
