One of the best inventions of computer science is the Recycling papera function available in Windows, macOS and Linux that allows you to recover files that we have eliminated from the team in an accidentally or intention, as long as we have not emptied it, that is, we have eliminated all its content.
Another great invention of computer science with Keyboard shortcutsshortcuts that allow us to perform actions in applications without having to take off the hand of the keyboard, thus avoiding losing concentration.
Whether if you use the keyboard shortcuts and Shift keya key that, although it seems not to be, is found in all keyboards for PC, both old and modern.
We can also find this key in the classics WRITE MACHINES and it was placed in a position very close to the one it currently has on the keyboards.
What is the Shift key
If we talk about the keyboard key, we are really talking about how this key is called in English. If we talk in Spanish, we are referring to the key Capitalkey we should not confuse with caps Locksince both perform different functions.
When we press the capital key without releasing, and then click on a letter, it will be written in capital letters. If we release it and continue writing, the rest of the keys will be written in lowercase.
But, if what we want is to write everything in capital letters, the key that we must press the capital bloc. This key blocks the capital letters so every time we click on a key, it will be shown with this format.
In addition to writing the first initial of a word in capital letters, this key is also used to perform keyboard shortcuts. Some manufacturers, instead of using capital letters, shows a Arrow upsomething quite common in laptops and on reduced size keyboards.
Where is the Shift key
If we talk about a keyboard with ISO distribution, the type of keyboard used in Spanish, we can find the Shift key on the left side, just at the left of the symbol. The Shift or Capital key is also in the part right of the keyboard, specifically to the right of the key that represents the script (-).
Although, as we can see, the size of both keys is different, being the one on the left smaller than the right, both have the same behavior when they are pressed. The same goes for the key Control (Ctrl) that we can also find on the left and right side of the keyboard.
In addition, of the SHIFT (capital) and the control keys (CTRL), on the keyboards we can also find the Alt key. Unlike the previous ones, the Alt on the left side of the screen does not perform the same function as the right key that incorporates the surname gr.
Press the ALT GR keyboard key, we can use the symbols |, @ and # found in keys 1, 2 and 3.
