Here’s a little discovery that was made last week:
The key that’s called “Num Lk” is not, in fact, your computer’s shortcut to a very cold lake.
Its actually a function that allows you to enter numbers.
If you’re using a desktop PC, these keys will be in a block to the right of the keys you generally type with. Yes I know… obvious. But if you’re using a laptop (specifically, one that looks like mine — pearly pink with silver keys) you won’t have those off to the side. The numbers are actually hidden in with the lettered keys. Ok, so you probably already knew that too.
But on my laptop, they’re really small. I mean tiny, small. So small that I didn’t know they were even there.
Here’s the point: if you press “Num Lk,” you will not be able to type normal letters. And until you find that magical key again, you’ll be typing 0123456 instead of m, j, k, l, u, i and o… which can be really agitating. My suggestion: find your “Num Lk” key and NEVER push it.
later!
