#HYPERKEY BY Y WINDOWS#
The (Sun) Meta key, Windows key, (Apple) Cmd key, and the analogous "Amiga key"( A) on Amiga computers, are usually handled equivalently. Fn ( Functio n) – often present on small-layout keyboards, or keyboard where the top row of function keys have multimedia functions like controlling volume attached.On older keyboards labelled ⌘ (Apple logo). ⌘ Cmd – Command key, found on Apple keyboards.⊞ Win (Windows logo) – found on Windows keyboards.❖ Super – Super key, found on MIT, Symbolics, Linux, and BSD keyboards.◆ Meta – Meta key, found on MIT, Symbolics, and Sun Microsystems keyboards.⎇ Alt ( Alternate) – also labelled ⌥ Option on Apple keyboards.User interface expert Jef Raskin coined the term " quasimode" to describe the state a computer enters into when a modifier key is pressed. In contrast, pressing just ⇧ Shift or Alt will probably do nothing unless assigned a specific function in a particular program (for example, activating input aids or the toolbar of the active window in Windows). A combination of Alt+ F4 in Microsoft Windows will close the active window in this instance, Alt is the modifier key. By themselves, modifier keys usually do nothing that is, pressing any of the ⇧ Shift, Alt, or Ctrl keys alone does not (generally) trigger any action from the computer.įor example, in most keyboard layouts the Shift key combination ⇧ Shift+ A will produce a capital letter "A" instead of the default lower-case letter "a" (unless in Caps lock or Shift lock mode). In computing, a modifier key is a special key (or combination) on a computer keyboard that temporarily modifies the normal action of another key when pressed together.
