Hello, friends. I was wondering why every keyboard I buy have a PAUSE/BREAK key? As far as I know, all it does is wake up my computer from sleep mode. Every other time I hit it, it does nothing.

Does it have a function I don't know about? If it hit it will it do anything to my computer (windows 7)? Genuinely curious.

Thanks!!!



its a tab, then enter key.

The scroll lock key locks the scroll of summoning on your computer so you don't accidentally summon a computer demon (kind of like an imp from Doom but sweatier). Just watch out when that light is off!

Joke's on you, my Scroll Lock key doesn't have a light.

By the way, the num lock key seems to keep me feeling pretty numb. I've been using it instead of alcohol for a while now, and although I've accumulated a large number of scrapes, contusions, bruises, and bullet holes not once have I felt pain. I'm afraid to turn it off now, so I'll probably just leave it on.

When running a VBA macro you can stop it with BREAK. And some games you can pause with PAUSE.

Hope this helps!
