Text 2. There are several groups of keys on the keyboard:

- alphanumeric keys: arranged in the same order as a typewriter;

- function keys: used by various programs to instruct the PC to perform specific tasks, such as save, Copy, Cut, Paste, Help, etc.

- numeric keypad: set of numeric or editing keys. The Num Lock key is used to switch from numbers to editing functions;

- editing keys: cursor and other keys usually used within word processors to page up and down in a long document or to edit text (using Insert or Delete keys);
