one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are
application dependent.

Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or

can be re-mapped to another function.
