Keyboard Layout and Mapping Reference

Keyboard Layouts

This chapter describes U.S. keyboard layouts supported by the host system. The keyboards are selected during installation or customization procedures. You can use keyboard layouts to locate character positions on the keyboard.

Different characters can appear in different key positions, depending on the country language selected. The function keys located across the top of the keyboard are not shown. Shaded areas show keys that are not available on some U.S. keyboards.

Refer to Emulator User's Reference and the online Personal Communications help for more information on keyboard layouts and mapping. Refer to your Windows ^(R) documentation for more information about the country and code page options.

The function keys have the following shift statuses.
