How Do You Clear on a Keyboard?

Published in Keyboard Functions 1 min read

Clearing on a keyboard typically refers to using the Clear key, which is designed to erase content.

The Clear key erases everything on screen or in the current input field. This function is specifically tied to this particular key on certain keyboards.

Where to Find the Clear Key

The location and function of the Clear key can vary slightly depending on the type of keyboard you are using:

  • On Macintosh keyboards: The Clear key is commonly located in the top/left corner of the numeric keypad.
  • On USB keyboards: The Clear key often overloads the Num Lock key position. Its specific meaning or function when located here can depend on the type of computer it is connected to (e.g., Mac or PC).

In summary, using the Clear key is the direct method for clearing content as described by its function.
