　　Shift key

　　A key that ,when pressed in combination with another key ,gives the other key an alternative meaning ;for example ,producing an uppercase character when a letter key is pressed .The Shift key is also used in various key combinations to create nonstandard characters and to perform special operations .Early IBM keyboards labeled the Shift key only with a white arrow .Later keyboards label this key with the word Shift.

　　上檔鍵(又譯為換檔鍵)

　　當一個鍵與另一個鍵組合使用時,它可改變另一個鍵的含義,例如，在按下某個字母鍵時產(chǎn)生大寫字母。上檔鍵也可用在各種鍵組合中，以生成非標準字符和執(zhí)行特殊操作。早期IBM鍵盤僅用一個白色箭頭標明換檔鍵,后來的鍵盤用Shift標明這個鍵。
