Hi,

 

What is the pause key for on my Pavilion laptop keyboard? Does it do anything useful? Thanks.

Many thanks. That tells me the key is of no use to me which is useful to know.

 

If anyone from HP is reading this, I wish it weren't in such a prominent position on my keyboard because I tend to hit it instead of the shift key which gets a bit annoying. No big deal but it seems a retrogade step to move it from the top row.

 

Regards,

 

Joe
