What is the use of cursor movement keys in a keyboard?

Cursor control keys move the cursor from one place to another on the display screen. The cursor is the indicator on the display screen that lets the user know where the next entry will be made. Cursor control keys have an arrowhead printed on them pointing in the direction that the key will move. Some keyboards have a separate set of keys for cursor movement; others have the cursor movement keys incorporated into the numeric keyboard. As long as the NUM LOCK key is OFF, the cursor movement keys function. Some software packages use the cursor control keys in combination with each other or with other keys to increase the number of ways and the speed with which you can move the cursor. Another cursor movement key - the SCROLL LOCK/BREAK key - controls screen scrolling. When in the BREAK mode and used in conjunction with the CTRL key, the SCROLL LOCK key will interrupt program execution.
