ABSTRACT:
A computer keyboard template system which utilizes a tray device capable of being disposed in juxtaposition to the keyboard keys of a computer input terminal. The tray device is comprised of a base section capable of being disposed on the input terminal housing and a tray which is adjustably positionable with respect to the base. The tray is designed to receive a number of keyboard templates such that any one keyboard template may be selected and located in the forwardmost position on the stack of templates within the tray and in a position to be adjacent to the function keys of the computer input terminal. Thus, and in a preferred embodiment, the selected template is located adjacent to a row of keys, such as the upper row of function keys, on the keyboard of the computer. In this way, the user of the system will be able to quickly and easily select the proper keys for selected operations in accordance with the instructions on the template.
