keyboard, and then snap them together.

The key provides quick access to the Windows

+CTRL+F Searches for a computer

consecutive program on the taskbar. Press ENTER to make the
selected program active.
+SHIFT+TAB

Using the application key
The key displays shortcut menus or other program-specific features, if available.

Using the Hot Keys (certain keyboard models only)
Hot Keys are special shortcut keys situated along the top of the keyboard that provide
quick, one-press access to programs, files, or commands. Using Hot Keys can increase
your productivity because you do not have to take your hand off the keyboard—to use a
mouse for example—as frequently.
