Where can I get an explanation of the keys on my M54851-001 keyboard?

Where can I get an explanation of the keys on my M54851-001 keyboard, especially the top row keys, the key above the 7 on the number pad, and the smile face key?  How does one do a full screen capture in one operation using this keyboard, without using Snip?

@Barry2025,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

The OMEN M54851-001 keyboard has several unique function keys. Here’s an overview of the keys you mentioned:

🔹 Top Row Keys (F1–F12 & Media Keys):

• These keys often have dual functions, such as media controls, brightness adjustments, or shortcuts for gaming features.
• Try holding Fn + a function key to access alternate functions.

 

🔹 Key Above the ‘7’ on the Number Pad:

• This could be the "Num Lock" or another function key, depending on your keyboard layout.
• Please describe its icon or symbol for a more precise explanation.

 

🔹 Smile Face Key 😊:

• This key usually opens the emoji picker in Windows.
• Pressing it should bring up a menu for inserting emojis.

 

🖥️ How to Take a Full-Screen Screenshot in One Step (Without Snip Tool):

Use the Print Screen (PrtScn) key!

• Press PrtScn – Captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard.
• Press Windows + PrtScn – Captures the entire screen and saves it automatically in Pictures > Screenshots.

Let me know if you need more details!

Kind Regards,

Thank you for the response. More details are needed to completely answer the question.  The keyboard does not have a PrtScn key.  There is, or was, a specification for the functionality of this keyboard somewhere in the world.  Having access to that would help.  Photos of parts of the keyboard are included here:

@Barry2025,

Unfortunately, it appears that HP is playing hide-and-seek: I couldn't locate the information you are looking for either, even though, like you said it: " a specification for the functionality of this keyboard [is] somewhere in the world."

Just not anywhere for us to locate it.
