In order to speed up the writing of programs and editing of text, high frequency use tasks have been mapped to the numeric keypad located on the right side of most personal computer keyboards. This allows for extremely fast one hand editing.

KP = keypad. To perform a KP keystroke, just press the keypad number or character indicated for the function you wish to perform. Some of the keystrokes use the 'GOLD' key, which is the [Esc] or [NumLock] key.
