ABSTRACT:
A "Fn" key included in control keys is located adjacent to, for example, a first cursor movement key (for leftward movement) which is located on the right side of a space bar. A second cursor movement key (for rightward movement), a third cursor movement key (for upward movement) and a fourth cursor movement key (for downward movement) are arranged adjacent to the first cursor movement key. The arrangement of some data keys and control keys is adjusted so that the space bar can be situated in a predetermined position in the keyboard. When one of the first through fourth cursor movement keys is depressed with the Fn key depressed, a keyboard controller generates a key code with a control function corresponding to the combination of the depressed keys.
