| Short for control,
CTRL is a
key found on IBM compatible computer keyboards. This term is commonly
used to refer to a keyboard shortcut key such as:
CTRL + ALT + DEL
The above combination means press and hold on the keyboard CTRL and
ALT and DEL to perform the function; in this case, reboot the computer
or open the close program window.
Many times documentation and/or information from Computer Hope
and other computer related documentation may list commands such
as ^X, ^C, ^Z, etc. this means CTRL-X, CTRL-C, CTRL-Z,
etc. In other words, a user would want to press and hold the CONTROL
or CTRL key and then press the letter following the caret.
