Interacting with your computer

Input devices are the pieces of hardware which allow us to enter information into the computer. They are a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a digital camera, a webcam, a scanner, a microphone, a graphics tablet, a touch screen, a lightpen, a barcode reader, a touchpad, a trackball.

The keyboard

A standard PC keyboard has various groups of keys.

■ Alphanumeric keys - these represent letters and numbers, arranged as on a typewriter.

■ A numeric keypad appears to the right of the main keyboard and contains numeric and editing keys; the Num Lock key is used to switch from numbers to editing functions.

■ Function keys appear at the top of the keyboard and can be programmed to do special jobs.

■ Cursor keys include 'arrow keys' which move the insertion point, and keys such as Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down, which let you move around documents.

■ Dedicated keys are used to issue commands or produce alternative characters. For example: Ctrl changes the functions of other keys (e.g. Ctrl + X cuts the selected text).

Caps Lock sets the keyboard in 'CAPITALS' mode; it only affects letters.

Enter (or Return) is pressed to select options from a menu or to start a new paragraph.

Backspace deletes the character to the left of your current position.

The mouse

A mouse is a hand-held device that lets you move a pointer (or cursor) and select items on the screen. It has one or more buttons to communicate with the PC. A scroll wheel lets you move through your documents or web pages. The pointer looks like an I-bar, an arrow or a pointing hand.

An optical mouse has an optical sensor instead of a ball underneath.

A cordless (wireless) mouse has no cable; it sends data via infrared signals or radio waves.

Mouse actions:

■ to click, press and release the left button.

■ to double-click, press and release the left button twice.

■ to drag, hold down the button, move the pointer to a new place and then release the button.

■ to right-click, press and release the right button; this action displays a list of commands.
