- Keys that you press on the keyboard of your computer
are shown in bold, initial capital letters. For example, an instruction
to press the Enter key is shown as:
Press Enter.
- Two keys that you press at the same time on the keyboard
of your computer (that is, you press and hold down the first key
and then press the second key) are represented as a series of
key names separated by a plus sign (+). For example, an instruction
to press and hold Alt while typing the letter d is shown as:
Press Alt+D.
- A combination keystroke is a series of keystrokes that combines
the two key functions as described above plus a third key. That
is, you press and hold down the first key, then press the second
key, and then release those keys and press a third key. This third
key is separated from the first two by a space. For example, an
instruction to press and hold Alt while typing the letter d and
then typing the number 1 is shown as:
Press Alt+D 1.
