Keyboard keys — Computer worksheet

A keyboard has letter keys, number keys and special keys. Enter starts a new line, the space bar puts a gap between words, Backspace erases the letter to the left of the cursor and Delete erases to the right. Shift types one capital letter, Caps Lock turns on all capitals, and the four arrow keys move the cursor around.

Remember

Every key has a job — “know what each special key does before you type”

  1. Enter = new line; space bar = a gap between words (it is the longest key).
  2. Backspace = erase left of the cursor; Delete = erase right of the cursor.
  3. Shift = one capital letter or the top symbol; Caps Lock = all capitals; arrow keys (4) move the cursor.

Use it for: Class 2 typing practice, writing your name in a word processor and keyboard games.

Worked example: ⌨️ Which key erases left of cursor? → Backspace

  1. The letter to the left of the cursor is the one you just typed.
  2. Backspace goes back and erases it.

Check: Back-space: it steps back to the left ✓
