A "keypress" is a computing and programming term that refers to an event that is triggered upon the press of a key on the keyboard. Usually in most operating systems there are API calls that will allow you to simulate key presses for different programming applications.

Does there excist a programme that can rememberwrite-downarchive all the keys you have pushed during the . for instance last five minutes?
Yes. You're looking for a keylogger. You can frequently download free trials of these programs, at sites like http://absolutekeylogger.com/ The program will run in the background and save every keypress as long as it's running.
Why can't you use your function keys when playing video games on Windows 10?
From the introduction of Windows 8, the function keys were 'relegated' to a secondary function. In older versions of Windows - the Function keys were a 'primary' operation, and worked with a single keypress. Windows 8 changed that to require the user to pres the Fn key simultaneously with the Function key required.
What is debouncing?
Debouncing is a provision in electronic/electrical devices having switches to prevent the spikes in output. Details: When we press any switch manually and release it it bounces due to inherent elasticity, this causes multiple make and break of electrical contact. If the response time is very large then it won't create any problem, but if it is small then we get multiple responses for a single keypress.
How do you switch between internal and external monitors on most notebook computers?
Usually it is a special function keypress. Press the Fn key, usually near the ctrl and alt keys at the front left. Then press one of the function keys, usually the one with an extra symbol in the same color as the Fn key that suggests switching monitors. Perhaps two little monitor icons with a / between them.
How many keystrokes make up one word when typing?
That depends on how the keystrokes are stored. If the ascii or scan code is stored, it's one byte per keypress. Some Chinese input systems using unicode can use up to 4 bytes per keypress.
How do you enter setup con fig mode on Acer computer?
When the Acer screen is displayed during the initial power on, the system should tell you which key to press (different Acers may have a different keypress required to enter the BIOS setup). The most likely options are F1, F2, F10, F12, or Delete. You can also try pressing "Tab" on the Acer screen (on some systems, it will remove the Acer logo and show you the initial boot messages, including which key to press for setup).
What is polling?
ANSWER I assume you mean polling, where a master device requests the status of a slave device. Another option for a design would be to have the slave device alert the master device when its status has changed. In either case, the master device can then act on the slave's status change. For example, if a computer polls its keyboard, it reads the status at an interval that allows it to detect a keypress. For the other approach, the keyboard has a controller that samples the keyboard (usually much more frequently than the master computer would be polling) and transmits a key code to the main computer.
What are output devices name them?
The most common output devices are screens (CRT, LCD, LED, plasma and projectors) and printers/plotters. However robotic arms are output devices too. Basically, anything that presents the result of a computation or action is an output device, even if all it does is to turn a diode on and off in response to a keypress. Thus the CAPS LOCK indicator on a keyboard (which is itself an input device) is an output device.
Hypertext is text that has?
This is a broad question and can be narrowed down by what hypertext is and why it is useful. See the related questions of this question for "What is hypertext?" and "Why is hypertext useful?"
What are the main causes of interrupts?
Just about any detectable event can be an interrupt for a computer. An event can be something like a keypress on the keyboard, a data stream on a serial input line, when the disk controller detects that the requested data has been read from the disk, when a timer event occurs (some software applications set a timer then "wake up" when the timer expires, that's done with interrupts). Most hardware is associated with some kind of interrupt vector.
