Scroll+Lock+Key

What is that key?

**The Scroll Lock key!**



The Scroll Lock key can usually be found directly above the group of keys that contains Insert Home and Page Up keys, nestled in-between the Print Screen/SysRq and Pause/Break keys

The Scroll Lock key is a hold-over from back in the day, where the user would need to modify the behaviour of the arrow keys so they could just scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor.

Some programs, like MS Excel and Lotus Notes, still make use of the Scroll Lock, but outside of that, and perhaps a few other program-specific functions, it's rarely used anymore.

Some keyboards, like those manufactured by Apple, don't even have a Scroll Lock key on them.
