TYPES OF KEYS ON A KEYBOARD


                  We have learnt that a keyboard is an input device that has many buttons on
                  it which are called keys. Various keys on a keyboard are mainly divided into

                  three types:

                  Alphabet keys, Number or Numeric keys                      What is a typewriter?
                  and Special keys.

                  Let us recall some previously learnt keys and also learn more keys on the

                  keyboard.















                  ENTER KEY


                  We use the Enter key to move the cursor to the beginning of the next line.
                  This key is also known as the  Return  key.  There are two Enter keys on
                  a keyboard.
