What is a Scroll Lock Key? Uses and How to Turn it Off?
The “Scroll Lock” key ,Sometimes abbreviated as ScLk, ScrLk, or Slk found between the top right area, near the “Pause/Break” key on keyboards, locks the scrolling function. Originally, its main function was to control the scrolling of text on the screen in some software applications. Despite being less relevant today, some programs, especially spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, still use it. In Excel, turning on Scroll Lock allows you to scroll through the spreadsheet with the arrow keys without changing which cell is selected.
If you want to turn off the Scroll Lock, you can usually just press the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Scroll Lock key, or pressing it doesn’t do anything, you might need to use a keyboard shortcut or change a setting in your computer’s control panel.
