F1 to F12 can be called "functional keys", the numbered keys on the right of the keyboard are called the "numpad", and the arrows are called the "arrow keys".

Is there a common name for the following group of keys?

  • @MichaelBoies I would argue no… as it does move your cursor position but it also modifies the text content. (Ignoring the IMHO abuse of web browsers historically using this to “go back”)
