The scroll lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern-day software. In the original design, scroll lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the scroll lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, scroll lock is a modifier key like Alt and Shift(which modify the function of other keys) and, more specifically, a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released. 4, record 11, English, - Scroll%20Lock%20key

Selon l'état de la touche Arrêt Défilement, le fonctionnement des touches curseur dépend de l'application; dans un traitement de texte, par exemple, les touches curseur feront défiler le document autour du curseur si Arrêt Défilement est enclenchée, alors c'est le curseur qui se déplacera si Arrêt Défilement n'est pas enclenchée. 4, record 11, French, - touche%20Arr%C3%AAt%20D%C3%A9filement

The "Shift Lock" key(the precursor to the modern Caps Lock) allowed the shift operation to be maintained indefinitely. Unlike the today's Caps Lock, however, the Shift Lock was a two-key operation :Shift would be held down, and the Shift Lock(normally directly above) would be pressed simultaneously, triggering a simple lock mechanism. To unlock, Shift was tapped again, releasing both keys and unshifting the basket. 4, record 12, English, - Shift%20Lock%20key
