The arrow keys are a set of four keys found on computer keyboards, typically located between the main typing area and the numeric keypad. They are labeled with arrows pointing up, down, left, and right. These keys are primarily used for navigation, allowing users to move the cursor or selection in various directions within text documents, spreadsheets, and other applications. In addition to basic navigation, the arrow keys can also be used in combination with other keys for specific functions. For example, holding down the Shift key while pressing an arrow key can highlight text, while using them in games can control character movement.
