Keyboard areas

It is not clear whether the standard areas of a PC keyboard have official names. The following names may be of use:

Alphanumeric cluster

The main block of keys, from the number row down to space bar row, and tab across to enter; 60% keyboards comprise only this one cluster

Function keys

The function keys row along the top (F1–F12)

Navigation cluster

The centre block of keys, used for view navigation and cursor movement

Numeric keypad

Also known as the tenkey; the block of keys omitted from a tenkeyless keyboard
