The control key is a special function key, common on computer keyboards, that is held down simultaneously with other keys to modify them, usually for system interrupts and similar tasks. The control key is sometimes used to access control characters in ASCII set, but they are not directly related. The control key is used for other functions as well. For example, Ctrl-C may be used on most systems to interrupt the current process. 3, record 1, English, - Control%20key
